The filtertower starflora replaced its ancestor, the justin starflora. It has doubled in size and has double the amount of leaves. Its tower has many more holes to filter water through. And its siphon on top can squirt out spores even farther than before. Like its ancestor its "leaves" not only perform photosynthesis but are hard shells which protect it from herbivores. They can still move their 16 leaf-legs but they move very slowly. They will migrate to shallower waters during the day to get the most sunlight and then move back into deeper waters at night to filter-feed. Like its ancestor it can store digested food but can expel it out of the top. Their top siphon contains parts of two sexes. On full moons they will travel to shallow waters and release their spores. As they all float in the water they mix thus fertilize each other.
