Ciliés tintinnides "Rhabdonella spiralis" (Fol 1881). A gauche, l'animal est contracté au fond de sa lorica ou coquille. A droite, il est monté à l'embouchure de sa lorica et a déployé sa corolle ciliée. Le cilié tintinnide est un organisme unicellulaire planctonique. Il est herbivore et brouteur de phytoplancton. Pour cette espèce, la lorica est presque transparente. Ce spécimen a été récolté en Méditerranée pendant la campagne océanographique BOUM en 2009.
