Actinosphaerum

This is the video I mentioned on my last blog. This an Actinosphaerum digesting several rotifers. I noticed the activity after it has digest 3 and it was on the fourth. If you look closely you will be able to notice the last part of the rotifer being digested by the actinosphaerum. A Rotifer is a tiny multicellular aquatic animal of the Phylum Rotifera, having a wheel-like ring of cilia at their front end. The cilia traps small organisms for food. They are found in fresh and salt waters.
