Australian $50 note

I got a $AU50 note today, ready to send off to Allen Lowrie, and couldn't
help noticing what looks very like a Utric trap on the reverse (the side
with the portrait of Clunies Ross.) It's just below the microscope, slightly
right of centre, near the bottom, perhaps with some sort of rotifer(?) as
captured prey. The only other possibility that comes to mind might be some
sort of crustacean or a sea anemone - it's not too clear.

Do any of our friends down under know anything about this? From the other
illustrations on the note, it would seem that Clunies Ross was some sort of
microbiologist, but I have to confess I've never heard of him.

Happy growing,

Peter
