The botryomorsus subterreus split from its ancestor and evolved to life on land or rather, under the earth. The botryomorsus subterreus grows in colonies; they stay just beneath the sand and close to the shore waiting for any nutrients the sea brings. They never move and stay in their colonies all their life, however should their colony be broken somehow and some of them carried out to sea they can still enter a dormant state to save energy in hope that they will wash up on another shore to start a new colony. With this new lifestyle the botryomorsus subterreus reproduction method changed to budding as this was favored.
