Description Name: Chandelydras (Lampozoans)

Length: 5mm to 13m depending on the species

From: Planet Cnidaria



Under the coral trees of planet Cnidaria, the chandeliers of alien nature decorates the forest understory. With glimmering lights and shimmering colors, a hypnotizing beauty is created.

Chandelydras are a type of alien hydra analogues that latches itself to silvan corals. Like jellyflowers (Florozoans) or floranemones (Planthozoans), these xenoflora also shows a great diversity. Though chandelydras may look closer to jellyfish with a stem, they are actually much more similar to hydras of planet Cnidaria. 

Most chandelydras grow on silvan corals. Because each species tend to feed on different certain organisms, diverse species of chandelydras can coexist even on a single coral branch. Floranemones can grow on top of the branch without any interference since no lampozoan grows on the upper side of the branch. All of them hang towards the bottom.

Like florozoans, lampozoans also rely on the pollination of each specific jellyflies. However, some lampozoans are carnivorous and thus mimics other chandelydra's light signals or color patterns to attract other jellyflies. Most chandelydras are either parasitic or symbiotic with their host silvan coral. Some provide the extra protein it gained to the tree in exchange for water or carbohydrates.
