Some species of tardigrade are carnivorous preying on rotifers, nematodes, and even other tardigrades. We took this video this summer (2015) in Woods Hole, MA while working with students (S. Gayek, H. Shi, F. Barber) in the Marine Biological Laboratory's Physiology Course.

I would suspect that is an M. tardigradum. I am in Washington state and have been keying them out. I am working on getting my capstone undergrad paper published. They are here in Washington state.
