The shellise split from its ancestor. Spores are packed inside round, cherry-like spore packets. The exterior, or "skins", of these packets are very sticky, and easily detach from the "twigs" if a fauna brushes against them. The inside of the packets is filled with a very sticky, bitter red "juice" with slight antimicrobial (specifically salmunduses and morsuses) effects.
The fauna unwittingly transports the spore packets to other places. Eventually, the spore packet's skin decays, causing the enclosed spores to trickle out in little drops of "juice". Most filter feeders that consume the spores dislike the bitter juice residue, and regurgitate the spores if physically able.
The spore packets have little nutritional value, but nonetheless some small herbivorous fauna consume them.
Shellises' red parts, or "leaves", are thinner than those of shellflora, at about 0.2 cm thick. A network of simple calcium "veins" on the lower half of the red parts keep them upright in the current. The flesh of the "leaves" are soft and vaguely jellylike. While the flesh is high in calcium, the upper part of the "leaf" lacks skeletal elements.
