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.
