Tiny hydra living on a Amazon Sword leaf in my invert/Red Cherry Shrimp tank. These guys first colonized the simulated driftwood behind the leaf and now have moved to populate the other surfaces of the tank.

Hydra are small animal that feed off microscopic aquatic invertebrates. They capture their food by the stinging tenticles at the top of the body. They are the freshwater version of sea anemones altho very very much smaller.
