These heliozoans are found most often in freshwater, floating in the open water amongst reeds and filamentous algae. Heliozoans are spherical and are frequently enveloped by a shell made of silica or organic material. Actinophrys generally has more than one nucleus. Pseudopodia (axopodia) that extend outward in a rayed pattern are used for capturing food.
