:*Ocean Phantom - a type of portuguese man-of-war that can grow to ten metres in diameter.:*Reef Glider - a descendant of the sea slug which hunts ocean phantoms. The young, however, are prey to the ocean phantom.:*Spindle Trooper - sea spiders that live in chambers on the ocean phantom and protect it from danger. The ocean phantom in return feeds it.
