That was really fun to watch. I love the way this guy projects his pouchy mouth to nab those tasty ciliates.

I've seen and recorded big ciliates swallowing Stenostumum, so it's interesting to see the tables turned.

That is way cool. Think I have similar creatures in my jar but mine are completely transparent. And i’ve never seen them feast like this. Excellent video!
