Evolved from M. krillapygmius they developed to live in larger groups in deeper waters allowing them to easily dodge their predators via going to the deep zones for cover only return back up to the surface to feed.They also live in larger groups to allow them to increase a higher survivability in a group. To cope with darkness of the deep, they developed large eyes to see in the dark more effectively. The bigger eyes help them be able to concentrate on its small sized food to be able to accurately feed on it. They also become a more fully fletched plankton feeder avoiding competition with the Gendia species and its ancestor and their the only small mass-shoaling plankton feeder in the zone

Found in zone 25 they grow up to 0.5-5cm long. They live in groups of max of approximately in the 4000s the larger groups increase survivalbility because it helps confused their predators. They feed on A. okeanus, F. cenafolius, F. foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus, L.palaeacytosol, and N. protos. They can be found in the Mesopelagic zones and bathypelagic zones while in the night they are in the epipelagic zone and Mesopelagic zone. They usually flee and hide in the deeper parts of water when threatened.

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.
