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
