Stentor of some sort

#1 Post by rhiannontries » Tue Apr 27, 2021 3:48 am

Hello, what is this? I think it is a stentor (actually, the more I look into it, the more likely suctoria seems), but it is unlike any stentor I have ever seen before. Found outside in a tub of freshwater water full of growing plants.

Thanks all,
