Shoaling Pygmy Krillimp

(Redirected from Electrobrachium krillipygma)

Evolved from M.minipygma they evolved to be able to outmaneuver its predators, their legs developed a broader tip allowing it to swim faster, they also swim in larger shoals in order to be able to confuse their predator easier(as the high increase number of individuals allow them to create more twisting formations and splitting themselves into more individual schools to confuse their predator).

Found in zone 25 they grow up to 0.5-5cm long. They are found in groups of 1500s. They feed on kelpflotensa species, A. okeanus, F. cenafolius, F. foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus, L. cytosol, L.palaeacytosol, and N. protos. They swim in the the open ocean areas searching for food, they sometimes also go near shores to avoid predators. They are able to breathe in water and air so their able to flee on land for a small period of time before going back to water to soak.

Their chitin shell is made up of many thin layers so they can forcefully molt as a defence mechanism allowing them to force molt to be made as a decoy. Their colours are mostly blue to green in color to camouflage in the ocean.

When breeding they pair with each other and mate. Females carry up to 200-300 eggs(but only 15-20 survive however this barely dents the population) The female incubates 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 which they will follow the shoal or joining other groups they find.
