The colony salmundus split from its ancestor. They first evolved in Chum Salt Lake and Chum Salt Marsh, but soon spread to the open water. They're now multi-cellular organisms. They have switched their diets, now they absorb the various organic chemicals, like methane, and synthesizes them to make beneficial chemicals for them. If one of the cells die, they will slip that cell from the rest. If the cell is in the middle, this could result in it splitting in two, with each half becoming a separate organism. They are found in all the waters of Jujubee, but can also be found in the salt lakes and marshes connecting to the ocean.
