Cerise Coraloid - Tumblr Posts

ceresium alcypero, more commonly called a cerise coraloid, are coraloids found commonly by the southern swamps of dumuno, they are one of the few alcypero to still have the basal tubustem, their fruit is fairly undesirable to urn due to its sour bitter taste, alongside its almost completely solid texture, though it is good for adding flavour to things such as pies and drinks, they are eaten by kettle fish, gliding rays, fruit beetles, and snake bats, unlike most fruits that create deterrents to kill fruit beetles, cryantberries use them to their advantage excreting a sticky substance to keep the beetle attached and then use a symbiotic relationship with bacteria to make the beetle produce extremely large quantities of pheromones which is visible when it lands in water and snake bats can smell from a good distance away, this lets the cryantberry essentially signal out to its desired consumers, this deterrent keeps the fruit beetle from eating or laying their eggs in the cryantberry, recent studies show that the tubustem produces scents to attract fruit beetles, if you have any questions regarding this alcypero please dont be afraid to ask i am more than willing to answer
