Immature screw-worm larvae float freely in the water, attaching themselves to a suitable surface when they find it. As they grow they extend a spiked proboscis into the surface they rest on, excreting digestive enzymes which dissolve the surrounding material and allowing the spike to screw deeper. They feed both from decomposed wood and from nutrients in the water, which they collect from reddish fernlike fronds which they extend from their body. Sailing ships make an ideal habit, since not only do they have a firm, nutrient rich wooden hull, but moving through the water provides a constant source of nutrients and oxygen.

Numerous solutions to the problem of screwworms and other hull parasites have been tried, the simplest and most common being corking, in which soft wooden panels are nailed to the outer hull, which can be regularly and easily replaced. Hull paint is also another solution, in which a thick, tarry paste containing various toxins is painted hot onto the hull. Hull paint is effective but has to be reapplied regularly in a dry-dock. Its toxic nature makes it hazardous to sailors or dockers painting it on, since the fumes cause dizziness and nausea. The toxins also leach into the waters of harbours, killing all marine life nearby. Though this keeps away predators and nuisance viridplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigVirid

Ironoke produce the hardest known wood, which evolved to be resistant to fire and virid ships are more resistant to screw-worms since the hardness of the wood and natural biotoxic enzymes protect them from fouling for a while. However, ironoke ships more than a few years old lose this natural protection and require application of paint.
