Is a rotifer whose body is approximately 180 - 200 µm. It has a long tail referred to as a toe that is 90 - 100 µm long. Like the others this trichocerca uses pedal glands to produce mucous secretions. This allows them to attach to substrates and to keep upright. Unfortunately not much information is known about the Trichocerca genus. A few scientists have tried to understand them but haven't gotten too far.
