Increasingly frilly edges, covered with sticky cells develop on your outer surfaces and enable you to gain a rapid advantage in water. You experience a substantial increase in efficiency and are able to grow rapidly bigger than other animals similar to you.
Eventually, the frilly edges, known as cilia, become big enough that you can actually use them to swim with, instead of just floating with the current. This enables you to become a predator, following and eating other animals, which are actually your close relatives! This is a common feature of predation: the best animals to eat are ones which are fairly closely related, because they share the same chemical make-up and so are the best match you to your needs.
Eventually, the large variation of size means that you become many different species, each tuned to a particular form of hunt. Some of the largest of you effectively form swimming mouths, with stiffened cilia acting as teeth.
That's as far as you can evolve here!
