Evolved from S. filterous they have extended its large foot(by 15cm) to extent slightly higher to filter feed. Their filter feathers split to have more filter feathers to filter feed.

Found in zone 25 they get up to 60cm in diameter, 15cm tall(without feathers) and each filter feathers are 30cm long. The filter feathers trap small organisms in their feathers which they then reach them into their mouth in the middle. Their muscular foot keeps the S. filtafilta intact to one area but can slight move their body due to their longer foot and flexibility. They feed on L. cytosol, F. foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus, N. protos, biofilm, detritus and L. byssumcoda. Their sting became more painful able to sting an extremely painful shock (not as pain of S. dasyatus) and lasts for 5 days. Not all filter feathers are fully split as some variation shows it splits half way.

They reproduce asexually releasing spores(up to 40-60 but only 10-30 survive [due to spoiled spores, or fail to find a spot to cling on]) that cling to different rocks when it releases it from the mouth. The spores soon flow through the currents and soon develop a foot which as they touched a substrate of rock they would stick and start developing small feathers and stingers.
