Ancestor:Descendants:

The marine arthrofin split from its ancestor, the arthrofin. It has migrated to the coasts where it has adapted to the saltier environment. It lives much like its ancestor did, scavenging for food as well as eating other rotten organic materials. Like its ancestors its blue blood filled gill are located behind its head. It uses its 4 mandibles to scoop up food from the bottom. Its three primitive eyes too look out for predators. Its coloring is rust-red to blend in with the sand and it has yellow spots to blend in with the twinkiiro. During the summer the marine arthrofin gather in mass to breed. It takes three sexes to complete the reproduction process: one sperm, one egg and one hormone cell. They release the eggs into the sand, which then hatch within a few days.
