Description: I have a few of these guys in my tank and in a sample jar. I thought they were just detritus but then noticed them acting like little anemones.nnActs like an anemone but looks like a colony. I've seen small colonies of vorticella, but this looks like more concerted action and with a much larger stalk than I had previously observed.nnDon't know what it is yet, if someone has an idea, let me know.nnEDIT: I think it is a vorticella 'colony' :nhttp://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/indexmag.html?http:/
