Ancestor:Descendants:

The phoenix vase split from its ancestor, the phoenix tube. It has evolved a vase-like shape, which also protects the reproductive organs. Even the inside of the tube is photosynthetic for better supplying itself. When fauna touches the orange edge of the tube, the phoenix vase could quickly closes itself. For that, it uses primitive ring muscles at the top of the tube.

Every six months, the phoenix vases release millions of orange spores. They often form large, slightly orange clouds, which can irritate and sometimes even damage the gills and eyes of marine lifeforms. If the spores find a good place, they will grow in roughly 2 months to its full size. Unlike its ancestor, it doesn't form large packs.
