Stipa Grangania

The Grangania is an underwater plant that grows on nutrient-rich Gangan rocks. Its fruit is a delicacy beloved by Aqua Buddys, though land Buddys say it has a rather salty taste to it. It has a sweetness to it unparalleled by other aquatic plants according to the Aqua Buddys though. Though some Granganias have more a savory taste, they say. After its discovery, it quickly became a staple food in the aquatic community. Due to its ubiquitousness in Aqua Buddy culture, it is often known as the Spotil of the sea. Despite this, it is actually quite rare in the wild, having only become a staple once it could be reliably farmed.

Perloa Alnia

A relative of the Alnia family, Perloa Alnias tend to form a hardened ball in their centers as opposed to the more syrupy 'fruits' of the Korana Alnia and Korana Minia. The outside of it is much sweeter especially, and the inside of it is much more mild-tasting than the somewhat bitter taste of Korana Alnia syrup. Either way, it is less common than its relatives and thus a celebrated find when discovered.

Like other Alnias, the Perloa Alnia may be found typically off the coast of Koraln Sing in semi-shallow waters. Like its larger relative, the Korana Alnia, it also prefers growing on toadstool coral.

There have also been occasional sightings of it in the Girinia Warmsea off the south coast of Furheart Iiah towards Warminia Songlianne, which could explain the pink coloration of many of the specimens. In addition, there have also been sightings further out into the Buddy Ocean between Wing Alayna and Koraln Sing.
