Stephanoceros rotifer. Light microscopy close-up footage of the benthic sessile rotifer Stephanoceros fimbriatus. Rotifers are microscopic aquatic animals that are related to roundworms.. This rotifer anchors itself to surfaces and uses its cage of ciliated tentacles to catch its prey and filter food from the water. It feeds on bacteria, debris and small protozoans. It is a large rotifer that can reach lengths of up to 1 millimetre. Filmed in a sample of pond water from Berlin, Germany. | |
