Colloblasts consist of a coiled spiral filament that is embedded in the epidermis and an axial filament with a granular dome.The apical surface of these cells consist of eosinophilic granules that are thought to be the source of adhesion. On contact, these granules rupture, and release an adhesive substance onto the prey. yes
