Great photo bernhard. You made me do a little searching for more info on this creature. So, they have a transparent shield over their mouth and use it to scrap food off the surfaces of things. Very interesting. Thank you :wink:

These are strange looking creatures. I always think of a vacuum cleaner when I come across them.
