Synula moving along aggregate surface

Synula-a colony of brown flagellates- travels around an aggregate, sometimes by tumbling and sometimes by sliding along the surface of the aggregate.

Commentary by Prof. Yuji Tsukii, Hosei University
As Synura belongs to the algae group, it is not correct to use the word foraging.
