Filmed are a number of species of this lorica enclosed euglenid.
As dazzling as 𝙋𝙝𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙨 morphological variation, 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙨 displays a wide range of lorica designs that are species specific. Spheres, bottles, adorned cylinders, spiked or smooth. The lorica itself is not as tough as it looks and is quite soft. Offering no real protection from suctoria, heliozoa and the like.
