The ouchiiro split from its ancestor and has returned to a free floating life style. It has spread throughout the open ocean but also into the adjacent temperate coasts due to lack of competition there. It is relatively light, keeping it from sinking to the bottom. It uses the pores of its ancestor to transport nutrients throughout the flora, as well as to pump water out. The pores locations are like fingerprints as no two individuals have the same pattern of pores. This system is extremely efficient and has allowed the ouchiiro to double in size.
The ouchiiro now uses asexual budding exclusively as means for reproduction. The buds will grow as part of the parent for about a week (Which makes the flora look as if it has a "boo-boo" thus giving it its name.) They split off once they are about a fourth of the size of the parent, becoming a new individual. Individuals are sexually mature after two months and will then reproduce constantly until they die. They can live up to six months, if they are not eaten in that time of course. After they die the pores stop working and they sink to the bottom of the sea.
