>>6103685explodes into many variants vastly different or quite extremely similar variants along the sea floor, as low nutrient simple lifeforms with a fast maturation rate alongside with the mutagenic effect of oxygen even with pigmentation encourages genetic instability only curtailed by predation.
>1Slower moving variant often seen tumbling along the currents course correcting with jets of water or slowly skirting along the seafloor cycling water through its shared stomach, its odd appearance that informs it lifestyle is a continuation of the bifucation or more correctly polyfurcation or trifurcation, conjoining into a radial form
>2Practically Sessile only moving under duress or from being ripped away by the currents. Spends all its time siphoning detritus out into its expanded digestive system wrapping around its "stomach" to gain as much out of what little can be found. Note its eye stalks on a constant swivel forming a near 360 field of view, when its forced to move it can contract its looping organs around its cavity deflating into a little tube, quite like its ancestors seemingly literally disappearing for many predators jetting away in a constant burst like a balloon
>3. near identical to its ancestor except for its curled up back end and thicker organs, consumes much larger bits of food then all the other more then you would imagine would fit inside earning it the nickname "big chug" sometimes literally just swallowing sand or only surviving due having 2 extra mouths not clogged up after a illadviced meal
>4discrete but much more noticeable when moving, a undulating active swimmer comparably to all its ancestors and relatives with hydrodynamic protrusions radially along its front.
>5Skinny body Beady sensory organ-ed, cutting away all the unnecessary energy and developmental costs towards more advanced behavior crammed into small package that is able to cram inside of small crevices and holes in the environment away from predators and towards hard to reach food.
>6bloated Speed freak moving forwards and front flipping violently and sometimes barrel rolling to be cool, doing what has worked so far since literally the second generation of its whole evolutionary line
