Thanks for the extra info! I have noticed the different head types on the larvaceans and different styles of houses, these ones seem rarer.

I sent some questions to one of the scientist and asked about the trails too. There's a chance he would be able to tell us more, at least

Hm, yes. That's not a new information for us:) We were just curious about their purpose. What are they good for? Are they collecting food?
