Is part of the gastrotrich phylum (often referred to as the hairy back group)and feeds on algae,bacteria, and detritus. It can grow up to 190 μm and moves by means of cilia on its ventral body. The cilia on its head however is for sensory reasons instead. They grow rapidly and are asexual creatures. They lay approximately four eggs which can survive freezing temperatures and even dissection.
