The snatching speck split from its ancestor the chlorocytus and doubled in size. In addition to swimming, its flagella are now used to grab prey and force them into its mouth, which is found at the base of the flagella. The cell is much more elastic, allowing it to swallow prey its own size whole.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
