The kunirchi split from its ancestor on the east coast of Wright, where now it found a plentiful food source and a good place to protect itself. Able to change the skin color, its blue coloring changes to crimson when near to karniquarius, becoming almost imperceivable; when in open sea, the blue skin helps to blend it on the environment. Its eyes changed the position again, turning back to the arrangement of the earliest ukfauna species; while with the top one detects the approaching of predators around and above it, the bottom one seeks for places to hide.
In order to able to enter into the karniquarius, it shrunk its size even more. Soon after it is born, it swims down and searches for a good place to hide, usually landing near to karniquarius buds. Then, when a bud detaches, it quickly crawls through the small pore opened, fixing onto the inner surface. It evolved membranes between its limbs to better swim and allow it to be carried by ascendant air bubbles. Since they found a safe place to hide, the shell atrophied, but its spiked shield shape helps to protect the nearly born offspring.
Inside the karniquarius it will stay on the upper surface, since the bottom one secretes digestive enzymes. Sometimes, kunirchis land or fall there and are killed or have their membranes damaged. To attach onto the plant, it will pierce the inner surface with the back double-spikes and then split them. Attached, it will swing and drink the nutritive juice of the core. Once inside the plant, they will not leave; they will reproduce there and lay many eggs into the buds. When a bud detaches, the eggs travel with it and, when hatched, the offspring will seek for a karniquarius to live inside. When dead, the corpse falls and is degraded by the bottom part of the plant; the degradation products remain inside the solution and are expelled when air bubbles carry them and the other juice's components to outside.
