Members of Sidocoga collus attached to the surface of Foliumnympheus spp. Members that lived on Foliumnympheus spp. started adapting to being attached and still moving. They no longer had to move as much to gather nutrients. These led to Sidocoga sneali.

Similar to other Sidocoga in that it feeds by gathering particulate matter on its microvilli and that it reproduces by mitosis. They reproduce at a rapid rate and rely on the chance of washing over a host, they will also attach to the same host as their parent when they can. They have adapted to living on Foliumnympheus spp. by shortening their flagella because they don't need to move as much and it provides a sturdier attachment to the host, causing them to be only 2μm. They also produce their microvilli in a wider spread to have greater chances of catching nutrients. They live in all the warmer zones inhabited by their host but are unable to maintain their protein structure in colder areas.

Named after Sneal for giving me the idea for my depiction.
