New Creature Idea

Hey Subnautica, i have this idea for a new creature. Now I'm not a pro at 3D modeling, but i think these images will give you an idea of
what i am thinking of. What this creature does is it clings to the abundant coral in Subnautica and can "eats" it. This creature can also eat acid mushrooms so that they can disappear. it would be reasonably small (about the same size as things like Peepers and air-sacks) but it could be a bottom feeder fish that could be cooked an eaten like all the other passive reef fish. of course this is just my idea and if you only like the model or think that this is not worth it, that is completely ok with me.

P.S. in case you want to know, i made these pictures in Blender

    Cool idea. Sounds like they would be kind of a pest. Would act sort of like the starfish that are infesting parts of the Great Barrier Reef. Could be interesting if there were ways to set out things to act like scare crows to protect areas of the reef and deplorable tech that could restore their damage. Maybe even genetically engineer predators to eat them to reduce or completely eradicate the little suckers.

    Honestly I'm against anything that destroys the limited resources in game.

    I'm guessing that gene modification of wildlife is something of an end-game or at least higher tier technology. It would really suck to have all of the resources you need be eaten by these guys by the time you actually unlock the ability to combat them x.x

    Likewise, with traps you have to consider: how much in the way of resources would they take? How long will the player have to spend gathering these resources and building/deploying the traps? Will the player be able to save enough resources in this way to cover the cost of the traps as well as make progress towards building bases and the other activities in game?

    Also, what happens if these things get into an area the player hasn't visited yet? Nothing like going into a new region and finding all of the resources are gone and have been replaced by a legion of these things.

    So yeah... props for the effort and thought you put into this, but I can't see it being a fun addition to the game x.x

    Something similar to the Trilobite or the Horseshoe crab would fit

    I think there should be some kind of kraken type creature. It can be about as rare as when you see the reef backs. They like to go after your cyclops submarine once you've constructed it, but you can use the horn to scare it off. Maybe once you kill it (I don;t know how) You could use to create an organic type submarine that you can use to blend in with the ocean, or you wont be attacked by hostile creatures. Obviously The creature would look like a big squid and considering I couldn't really draw one or something, it could be about the size of the Cyclops sub.
    So yea, just an idea for later on in the game.

    @SBShuffle001 If they do make a kraken I want it to be way bigger than the Cyclops, at least 5 times as big, like in the movies.

    I just Googled it. It looks a lot like the Stalker Shark already in the game. Perhaps the devs used the pilosaur as inspiration?

    How about one of these bad boys? Rumor has it, at least one is still alive in Scotland... (Loch Ness Monster)

    Yes, Kraken or krakenesque please

    As for the creature here, I think its cool but you could come up with a more interesting special behavior instead of just eating coral xP
