The tusked shellworm split from its ancestor and inhabited the Martyk Sandstone Caves. Using its sense of smell in order to locate itself and its food it could easily strive in its new home. Because the crusher worms inhabit these caves as well it has moved with the cleaner sauceback with it. In order to survive better the crusher worms attacks they evolved spines in the sides of their shell-plates. Their arms are also much more flexible and slightly longer in order for them to feed on the higher patches of leafs on their new good source, the light gatherer plurge. They have also evolved another pair of longer legs which stabilizes them more and allows them to slightly climb the light gatherer plurge in order to get to even higher leafs. They also evolved a more aggressive behavior sometimes even fighting their attackers themselves using their claws when a cleaner sauceback is no where to be found. Finally they evolved longer food grabbers in front of their face which resemble tusks. They use these to grab the leafs and put them inside their mouths.
