Legendrea lozeyae - relocating and escaping a Stentor

[Ariel Qassis]

Hello,
In the last month, I've been busy documenting Legendrea loyezae in its various behaviours.
Here is a small taste, enjoy

Hi Ariel,

Thank you for an interesting video of this elusive ciliate.  What I find interesting, and didn't know, was that the tentacles could be extended out as far as you see in the video.  Look forward to more videos of this ciliate!

Best wishes,
Tim

Thank you Tim!
Yes, thats its feeding position.
Its doing that only when relaxed.
As far as I know, only James Weis and I were able to record it.
I got hours of fascinating, never-seen documentation of it, still going.
