Description:
Ifurbis carbonis(Ith-er-bes Kar-bon-is) is a algae that means to live in volcanoes. They grab nutrients to grow from a mineral called Fulere, a extrusive igneous rock that is commonly found on a tip of a volcano. Ifurbis cannot live in oxygen, their resource of life is carbon. They are very microscopic small and and each day, about 20,000 Ifurbis grows on Fulere. Each Ifurbis have a life span of only 10 days.

Why grow on Fulere?

Fulere is rich of carbon, the main source of Ifurbis carbonis. Ifurbis roots are very small they can seep in through the rocks, and also strong, they can somewhat break the rocks, imagine the rock at a hardness scale of around 7! The largest known Ifurbis carbonis is 2.4873 cm tall.

Very good creation. Do you mind if I use this format as the official template?

Interesting organism. Any hints as to it's place in the food chain? I doubt that even Lava Dwelling Algae is safe from Herbivores and Omnivores, no matter how small, so, with my interest in animals, what species or phylum feeds on this?

Probably different types of bacteria, if they could survive in the intense heat, of course.

I'd be fascinated to see what type of bacteria are able to survive and feed on this, probably because I'd really like it if ever evolves to land dwelling creatures within a couple of billion years.
