Swimming among the microscopic rock, its head full of purple polka dots, Nassulopsis elegans seeks its food.
With his mouth shaped basket of thick rods, we see him eat cyanobacteria of the genus Oscillatoria.
In the video Nassulopsis elegans, measuring about 160um (0.16mm) long.
We found it in the freshwater of "Arroyo Grande", Department of Flores, Ruta 3, Km 243, place "Andresito", Uruguay, South America.
