Harpes-1


These guys are great! It's a filter feeder! If you look around the rim of the cephalon (head), you can see hundreds of tiny pores which are used to filter sediment for edible particles. Also neat is when these guys roll up; they just sort of tuck themselves under the big head plate because the cephalon is so big! Ya, these are fun, and they have tiny beady eyes too.
