You see a suctorian feeding a little yellow ciliate (probably some other colleages of this ciliate had the same destiny - cfr. the colour of the suctorian!).
It was necessary half an hour...
4 pictures.

Franz,

Very nice set, the phase contrast looks amazing. What objective did you use?

Amazing sequence. Snapped him up, ate the sweet stuff and spit out the shell.

Franz,

Really nice!

If there were ever a "horror" movie made that was based on micro-crittters, I think suctorians should have a star role. Really strange little creatures.

That's very cool. I particularly like the middle two images.
