Very nice, Pau! Thank you for sharing.

I think carlos.uruguay made a video of that ciliate before. Bruce Taylor can surely ID it, if you contact him.

Sort of a festive shot, seeing as how it is the season for reds and greens. Those eyespots are always intriguing.

Very nice image! :)

The ciliates are a chilodonellid with a big bare patch on the ventral surface, either Pseudochilodonopsis or Chilodonella. I think you'd want a closer view of the suture kinety/kineties (the horizontal line/lines of cilia just anterior of the "mouth") to rule out one genus or the other.
