Evolved from Synacodurus kelpcetus.They moved to zone 13 due to coompetition and predation. These species adapted for a varied opportunistic herbivorous diet.

Found in zone 13. Growing up to 50cm( they got bigger so they will not be eaten by potential predators like R. gigas. they live in groups of 2-4. Feeding on A.okeanus, F. cenafolius, F. foliumegaeus, F. foliumicroeus, L. cytosol, R. magnideus, R. titanokelpus and S. podius. They feed on the planktonic food by gulping whole schools of it whole. They use their lobe fins to glide in the water with its tail used to steer itself to different directions. They molt their chitin every 2 months on their backs. The species rest in the currents usually going with the flow. They are very skittish and when something large comes they would instinctively seek for cover in vegetation. They have a pigment of shades of green that will help them camouflage in vegetation.

When breeding males now flare at females pumping blood into their fins turning their fins redder(females are attracted to brighter colours) and tries to attract females. Females judge by the intensity of the colour and males want to show that the male have a better circulatory system and therefore signaling that they have good genes. Mating occurs when many groups up to 2-4 groups come and mate with each other which they return back to their groups after mating. Once the female accepts the male, the male would mate with the female using its front limbs to grab the female as it mates. Once they are mated the male would not show any care for the female and leaves her.

The female will be pregnant and the gestate its egg in its womb which would take 2-2.5 months. The young would be more developed and birth 10cm from that start giving them a head start being able to swim more effectively and catch up to their mother.

The female would then give birth to 9-14 larvae however only 2-4 survive.The female will take care of her young as other groups (not her own) will try to eat her young as the young have soft shelled (when they are born )and are easily eaten by other groups of S.kelpalantus. After 1 month they will molt their shell and will harden but still live with its mother for the next 2.5 months which it would then join the group and live in the group.
