Strobilidium hunting technique I
Species name:Strombidium or Strombidium
AL-Museum AL-Museum
Hunting technique The shape of this ciliate called Strobilidium reminds us of a bell or strawberry. Although the body shape is similar to Vorticella, it does not have a stalk, yet like Vorticella, it rotates in a continuous arc. The whirlpool created by the rapid waving of the cilia surrounding its mouth pulls food into the organism.
