Hello
Hexarthra rotifer is an odd-looking "weird"
In the first part of this video we see the rotifer eggs, half the video to see that one of the eggs begins to hatch watching the first moves of the new rotifer Mastax and at the end of the video we see the "birth" of a new rotifer

He is very weird. How did you ever identify this as a rotifer?

Thanks Mitch
Rotifer is a pretty "rare" but I had already met the other time

Now I will know it when I see it. Is he fresh water only or brackish?
