Chorourae

Chorourae are a family under Parvenatora and are distinguished by their lack of any tails or other means of self-locomotion, rather, they have root-like structures that they use to attach to the seabed. They attract small serperans into their mouth by using attractive colors or disguising themselves as food or a rock. To aid in hiding themselves, they can open and close their mouths, as opposed to Oliganae, which have no way of keeping their mouth closed. Additionally, they often live in densely populated areas, further increasing their chances of finding food. They are named after the Greek translation of no tail, choris oura.
