Now, they are capable of processing vegetable matter almost as efficiently as they were able to digest meat, tens of millions of years ago, prior to the emergence of the waste organ. Although plant-eating is inefficient, they are far more accessible than prey and can sustain a Flounder Feeder if it dedicates most of its time to tearing Growth Strands and Sulfur Clumps from the silt and swallowing them. This is a tremendous boon to their survival and reduces starvation to nearly equal the casualty rate of heavy metal poisoning. The Flounder Feeder population grows and is now only slightly endangered, rather than teetering on the brink.
