Beautiful and amazing.
Is it possible to freeze its motion while alive? add a solution of thickener in artificial sea water or in real sea water?

Many thanks Hobbyst46

I am afraid I don't know. I have never tried. Diatoms usually are still enough for one to be able to take a sequence of shots and crustaceans tend to take a rest now and again.
If something does not cooperate (i.e. does not pose) I take the easy way out and video it.
