Chaetonotus (keet-a-note-us) a gastrotrich. Perhaps after tardigrades, these are the most inherently cute metazoa likely to be encountered by microscopists. Move by gliding and wriggling over and through the substrate. With an anterior mouth leading to a through gut. Posteriorly with two podites (a bit like rotifers to which they are related, with which they can attach to the substrate. Eat protists, small metazoa and detritus. Phase contrast.

Plumatella spec. covering internodial shafts of sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus) with their mineralized exoskeletons of proteinaceous sheets. Along with this epizoa we see thalli of the red alga Ceramium diaphanum. Collected from Bodden, the brackish waters lying between the isles of Hiddensee and Ruegen (German Baltic Sea). This image was taken using Zeiss Universal with Olympus C7070 CCD camera.

Clathrella (clath-rell-a), tentative identification, amoeboid organism located within a thick layer of mucus with fine pseudopodia which seem stiff and apparently with granules. A bit like heliozoa and less like Nuclearia. Phase contrast.
