Stingy Spermsquid Actions:
1: Form vocal chords to allow it to make sounds and allow it to communicate.
2: Develop it's feelers to detect and process sounds it makes and hears.
3: Improve it's eyes making them large and allow it process more details.
SS: Speciate the the above:
 A: Grow it's brain larger allowing it to form close groups with others of it's kind.
 B: Grow larger in size and send it to the Bir Shallows.

Edit: Forget to name location.

1: Ability to form packs for protection or hunting

2: Speciate: from 1

B: Much Smaller size

3: Speciate: from 1
A: Behaviour to groom each other and pick off parasites and  Send to Uch Shallows
B: Sense of Hearing

SS: Speciate: from 1

I change my vote from this

1.Greenback Platecod develops a larger mouth
ss: Greenback Platecod develops a larger brain for social communication
2. Greenback Platecod develops the ability to pass down chloroplasts by giving them to its eggs
3. Greenback Platecod develops a spinal cord. If it already has a spinal cord then it develops 6 bony fins

To this:
1.Greenback Platecod develops a larger mouth
ss. Greenback Platecod develops a spinal cord. If it already has a spinal cord then it develops 6 bony fins
2. Greenback Platecod develops a large sail-like structure on its back to increase surface area to expel heat and get more sunlight
3. Greenback Platecod develops the ability to pass down chloroplasts by giving them to its eggs

Speciate Devourer Megalocod
1. Evolve thick scaly hide to protect against parasites, and move to the Uch Shallows
2. Evolve trimethylamine N-oxide tissue to withstand deep pressure, and move to the Midnight Zone

[SS] Speciate Handnose Dropcod
1. Evolve object-permanance/spatial brain center, to evolve more sophisticated grabbing behaviour
2. Improve keratin brushes into sharp plates for slicing and crunching prey, and move to Eke Shallows as a predator

Speciate Screaming Pancod
1. Reposition sonic boom organ to the rear, to allow sudden sonic blasts to propel at speed
2. Evolve Filter feeding plankton-catching mouth-brushes

Mutate Screaming Pancod #2: Evolve Migratory behaviour and move to the Sunlight Zone.

Shouldn't my species in the Eke Shallows be effectively out competing the larger herbivores since it has no predators?

1. Mutate Stabby Krillgore -- Bigger
2.Speciate Spawning Kilgore, send to Eke Shallows
2A. obligate full time cleaner Behavior, establishing a symbiotic relationship with large animals in need of parasitic removal on client species. Technically, this makes this creature the first Apex Predator of the area.
2B. Bigger, to be capable of actually eating the full size parasites, but not so big that they themselves are prime targets for parasitism.
3. Void Krillgore fins become sites for calcination to occur, gaining the precursor of a exoskeleton in the form of calcium plates across it's body. It's locomotion changes into one where it kinda sorta sieves the bottom as it drags it self along.
SS. Assist action 1

Outcompetition between prey happens when:

There is predatory pressure (the prey count in in the negative),

Or if the predatory pressure in a species is lesser than anothers.

Neither is occuring here. The parasite has no specific host; it just sticks to whatever.

[Blood_Librarian]

Alright, thanks for letting me know. I figured smaller creatures would fair much better against parasitic elements compared to larger ones.

[TricMagic]

It's mostly the opposite. Smaller creatures have less resources they can lose. Parasites want to be smaller than their targets so they have less upkeep. Hence the first thing I did was downsizing to reduce what was needed. The second thing using hosts for their young so they have a head start on life.

Where would the 6 be coming from?

[flazeo25]

I edited in the location.

Also the 6 would come from speicating 3 times, 3 being sent off while 3 remaining.

[TricMagic]

Knightwing is always in another time zone with these things.

[Blood_Librarian]

Alright, I'll accept  just speculating the spawning krilgore to be a cleaner for that action.

[Magmacube_tr]

Where would the 6 be coming from?

A and B become different species. You split 3 times. So you have 6 species.
