Stentor leaking cytoplasm

From sec 30
But it was fine afterward. Those guys are amazing and hardy.
Sorry for the scintillating, I am currently using a led torch as a light source :shock:, waiting for the microscope led lamp to arrive.

EDIT: Actually, maybe it is normal excretion?

Was that from the stentor or from it's prey?

It is the stentor itself but I think it may be a normal pooping event. Still looks fancy :)

Yes, excretion through the cytopyge (anal pore). :)
