Kelpflotensa antaritica
evolved from from K. primaflotens that were dragged to zone 27 by currents and evolved larger anchors to anchor itself better, with some stems going down to the sea floor and long stems.
Found in zone 27 they grow up to to a max diameter of 3.2 feet with a height of the depth of zone 27 usually 20 meters tall max for root to stem to the substrate to root itself. They use the sugars they create when they photosynthesize to repel the Kelpflotensa from freezing. Their leaves are also smaller to get a ,less chance of freezing but with many in numbers for a better surface area(and to create more sugars to repel freezing).Their growth is slower because they have to store some of the sugars from photosynthesis. When reproducing they grow little seeds(up to 10-20 seeds but only 3-5 grow to max size) which it let goes and be drifted by the waves to a new area without getting competition from the mother plant. The seed will germinate and grow an anchor part first then grow the first stem to reach to the bottom substrate while also growing its entire carpet.
