Type : Araneamus
Name : Stratum Araneamus - Emerald
First discovered for ExTool : Telemeter
Low-lying photosynthetic organisms that bond tightly to the surface of rocks. The body of the organism may be embedded in the rock subsurface to provide protection from the elements, leaving the tough photosynthetic proto-leaves exposed. Their simple proto-evolutionary nature means that they are a common sight on rocky worlds. Colouration is driven by a mixture of the mineral content of the attached rock and the absorption spectral of the nearby stellar body.A stratum species that has a vaguely octopoid shape. Their pale semi-translucent upper domes can reveal colourful inner organisms, which contrast with their darker outstretched tentacles.
