Folliculina



caption Folliculina swarmer has found a suitable place to build his chitinous lorica. Now the cell is flattening and starts to discharge material to build up the bottom of the lorica and to connect it to the substratum.

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.
