Ancestor:Descendants:

The reefball gilltail split off from its ancestor the gilltail, and has come into the shallow coastlines of western Glicker. Here it has an abundance of reefballs to eat. Their coloring is now purple to blend in with the reefballs when hiding from predators such as the beach shrotter. Reefball gilltails lay their eggs in the sand which hides them more successful than just straight in the water.
