Week two was substantially more exciting then week one. I observed many incredible organisms but was only able to identify a few of them. The most interesting organism that I observed was a small organism that almost looked like a horseshoe crab or a stingray. When this organism swam it almost looked like it was flapping wings but, when its "wings" were in it was very hard to see. I also observed an organism shaped like a coach roach that moved extremely fast and stopped at each plant either to eat or hide.
The most exciting thing I observed was very unexpected. I was focusing on a micro-shrimp like organism which was staying stationary so I could get a good look at it, when a large transparent asymmetrical organism consumed it. What made this event even more interesting is because the organism was transparent I could see the other organism struggle and die inside it.
a short list of organisms I could identify (more our on the way as I observe more)
Arella
Trichtoria
