Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, the shortbeak gilltail has shrunk in size but greatly increased in numbers. Opportunistic feeders, they can be found grazing on azulglobes to stalking schools of whorls. They reproduce during each full moon, releasing thousands upon thousands of eggs into the sand that will eventually result in dozens of new shortbeak gilltail surviving into adulthood.
