Fascinating creatures. Saw them in your cultured sample video - glad you went for a closer look.

Neat creatures alright! I believe that toward the end of your video, if you watch very carefully, one of them snags a meal.

Thanks for the feedback guys - they are very interesting and fun to watch.

@Rich, this is how I "cultured" them - I was lucky that they were in my sample water:
