The Aerokreps' arms travel further down its body to facilitate prey-capture.

Unfortunately, it must return to the sea to eat its catch; its ventrally-situated mouth and the fact that it only has two limbs (sufficiently developed to bear its weight, that is - the third arm still exists, albeit stunted) means that it cannot feed and stand at the same time.

Temperature fluctuates between 6C and 24C but can reach -60C at either pole while the equator can reach 30C.

As time passes, SmartBelp algae evolves to be more "infectious." The easier it can integrate with developing Belps, the more advantageous.

The Bristlechins, sharing a common ancestor with SmartBelps, have a degree of susceptibility to algal assimilation.
One Bristlechin lineage has evolved to exploit this.
Their skin is now a much brighter shade of green. They prefer to dwell in the shallows.

Shallow-water life brings these slightly photosynthetic Bristlechins into contact with a profusion of potential meals - namely, the speedy Anomalokrepidids.

After a few generations, Chlorochins begin sporting iron-oxide deposits above their mouths. While the magnetic disturbances these produce are incredibly minor, they're enough to entice hungry or stupid anomalokrepidids.

They are now able to infect other Belps with their specilized Hyphae, either planting eggs in them, or even directly infecting the brains of other Belps and controlling them as extensions of themselves thanks to similar brain structures even now.

Something happens in one Anomalokrepis population.
A point-mutation (single-gene mutation) in the genes that code for the receptor cells in Anomalokrepis' magnetosensory eyes has drastic consequences. Of the first generation, 80% of the individuals that would normally make it to reproductive age die due to blindness.

Of the remaining 20%, half compenate for their blindness and survive to reproduce, but with drastic declines in fitness.

Of the final ten percentage points, five still retain a very damaged magnetosensory vision.

But the final five percentage points? Those few, those lucky few...their copy of the mutant gene has done something extraordinary. The magnetosensitive cells have become photosensitive cells. They are now blessed with simple camera eyes.

Due to the Maglip's high amounts of adipose tissue, bloodloss was never a problem.

The rest of the changes are behavioral
This lineage of Maglip now sits and waits with its mouth closed, blood slowly leaking from its bait-wounds. The lips, swollen to hold more magnetic material, form an effective seal.

When it feels the pressure waves of nearby prey on its exposed nerve endings, it opens its mouth with lightning quickness; the sudden influx of water creates a "vacuum," usually sucking small prey into its mouth.

As a response to the growing number of dangerous predators both above and below the water, these belps lose their collection sack in favor of a sensory bulge on their undersides (which face upwards) in order to detect incoming flying predators.

It also changes its coloration to become harder to see from both above and below.

While it's cousins develop more precise eyes, other Stalky-Eye Ferms turn their vision towards other purposes.

Able to see the lay of the land through shadows and perspective, though no where able to see fine details, these Ferms find themselves able to better position themselves for moisture and to eat the rotting corpses of other land based ferms and the algae growths that have begun to cover the land. This eventually leads to them developing large root like constructs, forfitting the majority of their mobility in favor of better taking advantage of the nutrients in the layers of soil that have built up over the eons.

Taking a different strategy to combat aerial predators, the Burrowing Ferm undergoes a drastic change to its body plan.
It moves all of its symbiotic algae to its rear end, now a "leaf" that can be moved to face the sun. Its body becomes more flexible through segmentation, its movement bristles spread throughout its main body to help anchor it in sand tunnels, and its eye spots migrate to 2 main points on its body: to a ring around the "leaf", in order to detect incoming predators with enough time to retract its leaf into its burrow, and to an eye-stalk over its mouth. They can still reproduce asexualy, but now they can release clouds of sperm and eggs into the coastal waters they call home, and breed in this manner.

Finding water an essential ingredient towards successfully spreading, it turns it's former movement tendrils into something useless for movement, but perfect for manipulating the soil. Soon, the Aqua-Ferm-Er has spread a variety of water ways, especially streams and rivers, throughout the continents it lives on.

With some of their predators developing sight in the visible spectrum (>>40237010), those with smaller dorsal fins and skin with color and texture like that of the sand and mud of the sea floor had a better rate of survival.

Under the oceans, the Herding Belps have finally developed rudimentry intelligence. They are capable of identifying the self recognition and basic tool use. Or they would be if they had manipulators. Instead they have their parasitic Hyphae, used to control other species of Belp, this control over these species, combined with their already potent ability for pattern recognition and algae farming, has accelerated their brain developement to the point of later earth apes. With a little more pressure towards intelligence, they might become one of the first sapient species on the planet.

A less visual change, but just as important. Rather than the cartilaginous rings that most species possess to give their tentacles some more strength, the Krep Krab develops the first bone equivalent: it turns the cartilage in its tentacles into the same material in its shell. While it looks like a solid piece of shell, the rings are made of interlocking shell fibers, giving it more strength but still allowing a certain amount of "give", although not as much as the cartilaginous rings. these new shell rings are present in all its tentacles.

We do have photosynthesis occurring, so there must be a source of light. Maybe we orbit a normal star which happens to be relatively near a neutron star. Pulsar even?

We're separated from the neutron star by a lovely gas torus that soaks up a lot of the hard radiation.

Some life-cycle and mating behavior. Like all belp descendants, maglips are still hermaphroditic. Unlike the rest and smaller members of the bristlechin family, they exhibit sequential hermaphroditism. Born female and become male later in life.
This change came about from full sized specimens not moving much, and a tendency to consume their young if they laid eggs. Over time, only the younger mature maglips would lay eggs down current from the older, larger maglips.
Relatively few live long enough to transition to male, so they reproduce young, and the weak are rooted out by predators.

Should their young have some sort of larval stage?
