Crab Claw Kelp is a flora species found growing exclusively in the Lost River's Bone Fields and Ghost Canyon, protruding upwards out of the brine pools.
Appearance
The lower portion of Crab Claw Kelp has a wood-like texture and is dark grey in color. Further up, it transitions to light brown, then to a dull purple. Bioluminescent cyan spots speckle the purple section. The branching protrusions at the top of the plant share this cyan coloration.
Data Bank Entry
A blue-tipped kelp species which tends to grow in or near to acidic brine pools on the ocean floor. These brine pools are hazardous to most lifeforms; however, the crab claw has adapted by developing a thick, inflexible root system which can withstand the environment, and which raises the sensitive blue feeding nodules above the level of the brine.
