Ancestor:Descendants:

The sausage crastrum is very much like the crastrum, except that it has a different shape. Its "shell" is still soft enough to bend, giving the sausage crastrum all the protection it needs against the few creatures that eats it. When the sausage crastrum is "unfolded" it looks like a square-shaped sheet, giving it maximum photosynthetic area. There is one other big difference from its ancestor, and that is the way it reproduce. Instead of budding it now uses fragmentation, the fragments usually have one photosynthetic "stripe", and then evolve more. This leads to that the number of "stripes" can vary. It has not replaced its ancestor.
