It had been drizzling a bit since morning yesterday and the sea had dried up leaving puddles of water with green filaments in it , so I decided to observe them under my foldscope and found these beautiful colonies of Vorticella on the surface of the algae.
Here’s a video:
Here it is trying to catch a ciliate
Here the oral cilia are visible

And this is the location from where i got the samples of algae, Prabhadevi beach. 🙂
