Platyodes

## Platyodes tristus

Latest Mutations: Flat and wide, Toxic, Bigger

A very simple type of sea sponge that had no support except for a layer of mesoglea and laid flat and wide on rocks in the temperate ocean of the Southern Hemisphere. Pores dotted the body and there was one large exhaling opening.

## Platyodes platyodes

Latest Mutations: Budding

This is a blue soft sponge that is flat like a pancake and encrusts rocks, living throughout the temperate zone of the Uteenessa in the Southern Hemisphere. It can bud to reproduce asexually on top of sexual reproduction and it hosts photosynthetic bacteria in it's body. It's also toxic.
