Vorticella sp. filter feeding. Vorticella is a genus of protozoa, with over 16 known species. They are stalked inverted bell-shaped ciliates, placed among the peritrichs.
Each cell has a separate stalk anchored onto the substrate, which contains a contractile fibril called a myoneme. When stimulated this shortens, causing the stalk to coil like a spring. Vorticella mainly live in freshwater ponds and...

Vorticella protozoa feeding.
This protozoan feeds by using hair-like cilia on the cap of its bell to waft food particles to its central mouth. Each Vorticella has a contractile stalk that is used to jerk it towards its substrate. Phase contrast cinemicrography
