Chartitesta

## Chartitesta primus

Latest Mutations: Parchment Tube, Timed Breeding

The first tube anemone, Chartitesta secretes a tube made of a parchment like material, in which it can retreat to avoid danger. As a sessile animal, it synchronises releasing its sex cells with the full moon in early spring, to maximise chances that the cells will meet the cells of another.

Niche: Sessile Filter-Feeder

Size: 10cm (height)

Nutritional Need: 60 x 10/100 = 6NP

Food / Oxygen Requirement: 6 x 0.25 = 1.5NP per round (Needs to intake 1.5/0.6 = 2.5NP per round)/ 6NP

Characteristics: Cutaneous Respiration. Liquid Excretion. Low Pressure Tolerance. Osmoconformer (Quite High Salinity). Permeable Skin. Solid Excretion. Stationary Respiration. Retreat Into Self.

Perception: Chemoreception 1 (senses chemicals 1m from mouths).

Stats: Coordination 1. Digestion 1 (100% Meat, Digest 60%). Immunity 2. Filtration 2.5 (10/4 = 2.5x2.5 = 6.3NP). Respiration 1. Sharpness 1. Stamina 1. UV Resistance 2. Viscosity 1.

Intelligence / Behaviour: Stimulus Response. Tiredness = rest. Hunger hormones = wave cirri around. Pain = Retreat into tube. Adult + Early Spring Full Moon = release sex cells.

External Features: Red melanin pigmentation is in the skin of the fan-shaped colony. The polyps cirri around its mouth are sticky and have nematocysts and chemoreceptors. It secretes a parchment-like tube.

Internal Features: A nerve net rings the body and a incomplete digestive system leads from the mouth. It has gonads.

Reproduction: Sexual Reproduction. External Fertilisation. 1,000 eggs per spawning.
