The '''snatcheribbon''' replaced its ancestor and doubled in size. Due to competition with [[whorl]]s this organism could no longer rely on [[Wikipedia:Filter feeder|filter feeding]] as a means of getting nutrition, so it turned to devouring the male whorls that swim overhead. They have a pair of long, flat, sticky ribbons that flail about in the water until a whorl touches it; once stuck the helpless organism is reeled into the waiting maw of the snatcheribbon. There is a pouch like organ located right under the tentacles of this organism which is used to gather and pump water into a hollow portion of the trunk: this gives the snatcheribbon structural support, the cavity is often so large as to give a translucent appearance to the organism when full.

The snatcheribbon replaced its ancestor and doubled in size. Due to competition with whorls this organism could no longer rely on filter feeding as a means of getting nutrition, so it turned to devouring the male whorls that swim overhead. They have a pair of long, flat, sticky ribbons that flail about in the water until a whorl touches it; once stuck the helpless organism is reeled into the waiting maw of the snatcheribbon. There is a pouch like organ located right under the tentacles of this organism which is used to gather and pump water into a hollow portion of the trunk: this gives the snatcheribbon structural support, the cavity is often so large as to give a translucent appearance to the organism when full.
