Evolved from M. krillipygma they live in larger numbers to increase the survivability of the group. They also developed broader tipped legs allowing them to swim faster with ease. They swim with all their legs at a time, paddling back and forth.

Found in zone 25, they grow up to 0.5-5cm long. They live in groups with a max of approximately 2500. They feed on Kelpflotensa species, A. okeanus, F. cenafolius, F. foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus, L.palaeacytosol, and N. protos. They usually swim in the Epipelagic and Mesopelagic zones searching for food. They are able to breathe in water and air so they can flee onto land for a small period of time before going back to water to soak, they may also hop onto Kelpflotensa species to escape predators in water.

Their chitin shell is made up of many thin layers as a defense mechanism allowing them to forcibly molt using the exuvium as a decoy. Their colors are mostly blue to green to camouflage in the ocean.

When breeding they pair with each other and mate. Females carry up to 200-300 eggs. The female holds the eggs until they hatch, when they hatch the babies are 0.1cm long and ride on the females back until they are 0.5cm long when they will swim with the shoal or join other groups they find.
