In this form it finds its way into (Primitive chlorophyll-containing mainly aquatic eukaryotic organisms lacking true stems and roots and leaves) algae cells and feeds on their interiors.
A few other vampyrellids are parasitic on (The taxonomic kingdom of lower plants) fungi.

The perfectly round holes drilled through the fungal cell wall, much like the purported puncture marks on the neck of a vampire’s victim, are evidence of the presence of vampyrellid amoebae.
The amoebae attach to the surface of fungal hyphae and generate enzymes that eat through the fungal cell wall.
The amoeba then sucks dry or engulfs the cytoplasm inside the fungal cell before moving on to its next victim.

The naked filose amoebae comprise two other groups, the (Click link for more info and facts about vampyrellid) vampyrellids and (Click link for more info and facts about nucleariid) nucleariids.
The latter appear to be close relatives of (A living organism characterized by voluntary movement) animals and (The taxonomic kingdom of lower plants) fungi.

 Nucleariid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nucleariids are a small group of amoebae with filose pseudopods, known mostly from soils and freshwater.
They are distinguished from the similar vampyrellids mainly by having mitochondria with discoid cristae.
Genetic studies place them near the animals and fungi.

Some of the larger reticulate amoebae and vampyrellid filose amoebae have a golden colour, some algivorous species will have some colouring from food within food vacuoles, and many foraminifera and radiolaria have endosymbiotic algae.
This is colourless, but the use of phase contrast plus a little further contrast enhancement during image processing, creates a considerable contrast.
This is not inherent within the organism, and the structures lack colour - they have darkness or lightness (contrast).

 Amoeboids are cell cells that move or feed by means...
Most such amoeboids are now placed among the Cercozoa Cercozoa, including the chlorarachniophyte chlorarachniophytes, which have acquired chloroplast chloroplasts.
The vampyrellid vampyrellids and nucleariid nucleariids belong elsewhere, however, and the latter have been shown to be close relatives of animal animals and fungi fungi.
Reticulose pseudopods are cytoplasmic strands that branch and merge to form a net.

 FW: [globalnews] UN: Soil's Tiniest Organisms Could Solve HugeProblems
Over 3,600 earthworms have been described, and scientists say double this number may exist in the wild.
Most protozoa eat bacteria, says Elaine Ingham of Oregon State University, but one group of amoebae eat fungi, the vampyrellids that suck the life out of their prey.
"The perfectly round holes drilled through the fungal cell wall, much like the purported puncture marks on the neck of a vampire’s victim, are evidence of the presence of vampyrellid amoebae," says Ingham.

Finally, amoebae may consume algae and as a result have food vacuoles with different coloured inclusions.
This character selects for those amoeboid organisms with symbionts with chlorophylls a and c, and also may select for the vampyrellid filose amoebae which also often have a golden or yellow colour.
As with many forams, it has an orange colour.
