Findings from Thursday, November 1

One can easily tell that the micro aquarium has just recently been fed. the amount of active life now is a considerable amount more than previously. I found and was able to identify a very interesting organism. This organism is a protozoa with cilia according to the manual, and the specific name is stentor polymorphus.

Stentor Polymorphus is a funnel shaped multicellular organism. It appears as though the skinny tail end wags in a circular motion in order for the organism to move. It is a green organism. The stentor appears to prefer the bottom of the aquarium in the dirt. If you look closely in the dirt, you can see several wiggling in the dirt.

A picture is pending and will be posted on the next post. Too many people were in line for the camera last time.
