Is this the stuff of nightmares?



What is this? We found it in one of our cultures made from slough water and egg yolk. That rear appendage or whatever it is can completely retract into the body. The portion of the body pointed at seems to have cilia or somethings like that. The longer we had it under the microscope the slower it got until it died.

Let me know.

I really don't know what it is; some kind of protozoan or metazoan I suppose. I have a textbook of invertebrates and will look through it and see if I can find anything similar. Let me know if you find something first. Thanks for the note.
