Resulting from an error during the division of the main cell of some wykralines, tiabsia split from them as being an organism with double nucleus, much like a Siamese twin. The main cell is covered by many cilia and these help it to swim easily, since the long flagella acquired a new function. The tiabsia has two long extremities, from which grow and succumb periodically and in intercalate way. Each one of these extremities develops a long flagellum, similar to its ancestor, covered by a thin cytoplasm. They store enzymes and stunning compounds, produced by disk shaped cells in constant development. If they are touched, the thin membrane covering them is broken and releases the stunning compounds. The flagellum and part of the connected cells are lost; a new flagellum is replaced in the other extremity. After some time, the tiabsia develops another flagellum in the place of the lost one. Even being able to have a free life, most of their food comes by absorbing organic matter in suspension in the water. Like all its relatives, it is found growing in the chain colonies, having the bait role, stunning victims when passing close. In similar way to alucsorrhia, it will send chemical messengers to promote the contraction of cells and the release of digestive vesicles, in order to nurture the entire colony and benefit from it improving its food capture. Evolved in Jujubee Ocean and transported by the warm ocean currents, it was able to spread to the warm coasts of Darwin and Drake, through the Soma Tropical Sea.
