What it is
Tideglass are translucent schooling fenborn whose skin contains layered reflective cells that shift from nearly clear to mirror-bright as muscles contract. The display coordinates schools and confuses pursuing predators.
What Keepers notice
Tideglass schools graze algal films from seagrass blades without damaging the plants. Because stressed animals turn opaque, aquarium traders sometimes chemically suppress the stress response to make illegally transported specimens appear healthy.
How this species enters Keeper life
Aquarium-trafficking seizures, lagoon rehabilitation, storm-pool rescue, and later seagrass attunement.
This is a species dossier. Individual fenborn keep their own care state, provenance, temperament, history, and Keeper relationship.
