Evolution game thread 2.0: Absence of Richard edition

[Report]
This Evo game is a continuation of a previous evogame, led by Richard. Fortunately, it was pretty uneventful so there won't be a lot of confusion on what species does what.
Now, for the (mostly copypasted) rules:
How to play:
! Open an image of a species in MS Paint, or your editor of choice
! Make one evolutionary change to that species
! Save as .PNG
! Post your species in this thread and explain what you added and why.
! Indicate the generation, size and diet of your species(Only generation and size for plants). Starting species are gen 1.
! Do not make your evolutions too drastic or silly.
! Have fun
Other info:
! Unless stated explicitly, no species ever goes extinct. Old species can still evolve, even if they're not on the latest "chain"
! Try to make your evolutions gradual and realistic in biological standards.
! Every so often a World Event will happen. Extinction Event is a possible type of World Event.
The setting: the planet is fully covered in water, although it will not be long before land appears. Currently species can only live on the ocean floor or swim.

Now, for the species:
Species №1: Sojojo
A creature that swims by contracting and expanding. It has spikes to defend itself.
Eats plankton.

Species №1: Sojo
This creature is incapable of moving on it's own, and as such uses it's spikes to hitch a ride on bigger creatures. Eats plankton.

Species №3: Gulper Rojo
Swims by contracting and expanding, just like it's spiky cousin the Sojojo. Thanks to it's big mouth, it is less likely to starve. Eats, you guessed it, plankton.

Species №4: Biting Rojo
Swims by flapping it's fins, It's sharp teeth allow it to eat Oxitrites.

Species №5:Oxitrite
This filter feeder leads an immobile lifestyle. The tiny spikes on it's bottom helps it secure itself into place.

Species №6:Irregular Oxitrite
It is almost identical to a normal Oxitrite, but it's filtration canals have uneven shapes, which helps it in catching food.

Species №7:Mikova
A humble detritus eater that lives on the bottom of the ocean. It's only intestines are digestive and nervous systems, clearly visible through it's transparent body.
>>
Species №8:Markova
These creatures hunt for Gulper Rojos and Biting Rojos, jumping on their legs to grab their prey with their pincer. Their mouths are on the bottom side of their body, like the mouths of anomalocarids.
>>
>>792543
Forgot to say, they also have soft shells for supporting their bodies.

Species №9:Wigglefin
This creature is a peaceful herbivore. It is the gentle giant of it's time, reaching the humongous size of 2,3 cm and not doing anything other than slowly swimming from one field of grass to another.
>>
Species №10:Algae
Just your normal, monocellular algae. Consumes sunlight and produces oxygen.

Species №11:Bulb Grass
A plant species that stores it's seeds in small bulbs. The bulbs are easily carried by water currents and help the species spread..
They also carry nutrients for the seeds.
>>
And that's all of your starting species.
Have fun evolving!

>>792589
added thorns & sticky bits on the seeds
letting it latch & grow on the skin of other species in addition to the ocean floor

You can remove the "[number] since creation" thing by the way, I only added it because all these species were different generations last thread.

The mouthparts of some Biting Rojo become even better suited for latching onto prey and rending flesh. See crude diagram for basic mouth movements.
Larger specimens seem to have survived better than smaller, as it makes eating Oxitrites easier, and allows them to better fight off Markovas.
They find their way though the primitive seas via tastes/scents in the water.

WORLD EVENT
Tectonic plates lift over time, creating shallow waters and even a bit of land.
! Species can now live in shallow waters.
! Species can now live on the Western Island.

Developed more spikes around mouth, which it uses to puncture holes in Mikovas and Wigglefins so it can suck out their innards. The extra energy and nutrients it gets from its new diet allows it to grow larger on average.

Acquiring some "fins" of sorts to help in escaping predators. Also beginning to move away from its home at the bottom of the ocean into less deep waters.
>>
Acquires forward fins with cartilaginous structure to help with stirring up dirt and propulsion. Getting slightly bulkier but not much larger in size.

Has begun to develop a more complex system of roots and a stronger internal structure, originally intended to maintain its rooting in areas of the ocean with stronger currents. However, it has also now been seen to sprout up on the western lands, along small coastal spots with weak tides.

Forgot to mention, it's becoming a little larger as its roots and structure gives it the strength to.
>>
>>809693
...There's a comma between the 2 and the 7 trust me
>>
In an attempt to hold on to the carrier more firmly it begins to siphon off fluids from the host, with the spikes growing longer increasing its overall size.

It moves into shallow coaustal beaches and streams/lakes on the island. It feeds on the shallow-water plants that have recently arrived on the island. The light coming in the shallow water prompts it to evolve light-sensitive areas, which can tell it how much light there is, helping navigation and finding shelter. Due to a chanfed diet it grows larger. It's predators no longer prey on it easilly due to it's size.

So what do you think guys, let this thread die or make another one?

Die.
