The sunfeeder floats on the water surface, bathing in the sunlight, absorbing the energy from the sun and using it to reproduce through mitosis. The sunfeeder has evolved to a rather large size for a cell, it has a large surface area to collect as much sunlight as possible. It has a large chamber filled with oxygen inside it's cell wall making it able to float. It has no way of locomotion so it just drifts along the current.
