Octal Algae has replaced its ancestor and has spread out. Due to their camoplasts, they could endure warmer zones than their ancestors. They have also combined to gain a bigger surface to photosynthesize. Because the cells can change colours independently, they can make beautiful colours and gain perfect balance between temperature and photosynthesizing. This improvement let the Octal Algae photosynthesize as long as it wants. When the water is cooler, it increases its black surface, while when the water gets warmer, they increase their white. The technique is not yet perfected because the two cells in the Octal Algae can only become two colours, white or black. So it's either fully black, half-white; half-black or fully white; although they only become fully white when the waters are extremely warm.
On the picture, we see several algae in different stages. A fully white octal alga, a fully black octal alga, an octal alga who is becoming fully white, and an octal alga who is split in two colours.
