Green Hydra and water flea...Charles Krebs

I watched this hydra catch and swallow one water flea. (It can be seen in the "bulge") Before the first one was completely swallowed, it had latched onto another water flea. I continued to watch... curious what would happen, but this second water flea either escaped or was released by the hydra.
