Oxytrichidae is a family of ciliates in the order Sporadotrichida . Oxytrichidae are morphologically diverse, ranging in length from 40 micrometres (e.g. Oxytricha setigera ) to 400 micrometers (e.g. Coniculostomum monilata ). They are generally elliptical in shape with some very flexible while others are rigid.[ 2] Like other ciliates, Oxytrichidae have two or more nuclei: a large macronucleus that generally stretches across much of the cell body, and one or more smaller micronuclei .[ 2]
