Ancestor:Descendants:

Splitting from its ancestor, shallow salt moss lives in the shallows and on the coast of Ninth Salt Lake. It uses its three flagellum to anchor itself to the ground and (when above the surface) to adsorb nutrients and water. In order to better anchor itself, it forms colonies which can exchange genetic information between individuals. If the surface it is growing on dries up, the cells will enter a dormant state for up to a year until the water level rises again. It spreads when individuals are inevitably washed away from the main colonies underwater. Unlike its ancestor, it has a less definite shape, which conforms to the situation rather then making seven appendages.
