How do you vorticella move?

Vortachella is a protist in the phylum ciliophora. It moves by beating its cilia in synchronization, creating a wave of water that propels it forward. It also uses the cilia to "beat" food into its oral groove and mouth pore. The movement of the cilia create a funnel like vaccum that sucks it food in to be digested. - Zonk!~
