The Kurnugian sea is in many aspects similar to the Persian gulf, the water is very warm, has a higher salinity than the oceans of the Earth and is surrounded by arid landscapes. So it's no surprise that corals from the Persian gulf were among the first organisms which were introduced to Nea. The shallow waters at the western coast are perfect for these already specialized corals. In these colorful gardens many fishes find shelter and also these strange creatures which can be easily misidentified as fish.The genus Phylliroe is among the strangest sea slugs on Earth, their lateral compressed body and the tail fin make this invertebrate a wonderful weird view.Especially interesting about this species is the fact that it doesn't come directly from Earth. The ancestors of these large mollusks came from Mars where they were introduced to the waters of the Valles Marineris long before the colonization of Nea began. Here they grew larger and competed successfully with fishes. On Mars they also became less translucent and adapted to an wider menu of jellyfish. These animals are solitary and mostly nocturnal.Their body is covered with bioluminescence organs and the light-show they produce is known beyond the borders of the Neanean system.Nea: hyrotrioskjan.deviantart.com/a…
