They also had to adopt a new method of feeding, now lacking their shells to hide in: after a time, they changed their tactics to flattening themselves along the sand, which they mimicked in color, until a island colonialball/symbioraft diaminet 'raft' floats by. They then rise from the sand, moving swiftly, and dart up to snatch their prey from below. Once they have them grabbed their prey, they then inject it with a paralyzing solution from their oral tentacles. This approach allows them to capture prey of all sizes. To attack a drake uktank, of course, they require a different strategy: with such large prey, they must immediately paralyze it and then attack its weak point, usually the eyes, before proceeding to devour it.
As well, the sandtrapin has obtained a new method of reproduction: as a free-swimming organism, asexual budding would be less effective. With the usage of sexual, rather than asexual, reproduction, the sandtrapin population also is more diverse and able to adapt. Each individual acts as a hermaphrodite, releasing both 'male' and 'female' sexual material, as well as the 'hormone cell'
