The sea turtsnapper replaced its ancestor, the marine turtsnapper. It lives very much like its ancestor where they lay their sand colored eggs in the shallows and the purple babies hatch and rush to shore on Yokto Island Beach. There they will grow bigger and bigger until they reach adult hood. Once adult their color changes to blue and they will live the rest of their lives in the sea. They live most of their life alone and only meet during the summer to mate.
Adults now are more streamlines than their babies and have more fin like feet. Juveniles can support their bodies on land while adults cannot. Besides the more streamline shaped body and shell the back eggs have grown larger to look out for prey. Also their nostrils have moved slightly up their head so when they breathe they do not have to lift their heads up as much.
