The dry gelatin split from its ancestor to live along the water edge of Barlowe Polar Beach. They are no longer anchored to the ground, and allow themselves to be washed into the ocean and washed back up onto the beach to collect nutrients from the water and sand. This also allows them to perform photosynthesis outside of the water or nearer to the surface rather than on the ocean bed like its ancestors. To survive being outside of water they tightly close their pores to prevent water loss that way, and the outer flesh is now slightly leathery. They reproduce like their distant ancestors, the disorderly gelatin, but must do so in the water where the cells can actually float about and bump into one another.
