Ancestor:Descendants:

The seamber replaced its ancestor, the phytodiamond, and spread across all the tropical and temperate coastlines of Glicker. It is now semi-mobile. Most of the time it will stay anchored in the and or on rocks, however if is lack of food, too many herbivores or just too hot or cold they can use their hollow chamber to float away. It works much like a gas bladder. They prefer to grow at the edge of the coast right before it drops off into the ocean. There it can use its orange photosynthesis to absorb blue light.

Each crystal is made of hard photosythetic chitin which has tiny holes in them in. These holes let in water and organic matter. Inside the red fungi-like interior consumes the organic matter. This same fungi-like material also makes up the "roots" of the flora and it can absorb needed nutrients and minerals from the soil. Like its ancestor it has a mild poison that deters herbivores from eating them. The same holes that let in food also let out tiny spores which float into the water and grow into new seamber.
