Very nice detail and color Franz. Is the tube thing something he built? Or grew as part of his body?

Very nice.

It is a very rare ciliado, I have never seen it

Franz,

Great photos. I think it is impressive that you have got high quality informative shots with the ciliate both extended and contracted.

Thank you
