Nice. It looks like a vannellid ameba (genus Vannella or close). These amoebae are known to be able to project coiled pseudopodia. Look here for an extreme example (last image on that page): http://penard.de/Explorer/Amoebozoa/Dis ... abellinia/

Many thanks Ecki !! In the sample there were many amoebas with similar forms as the photos of your excellent page.

Thanks Marek.
You would do art works if you find these amoebas near algae

Interesting subject!

First amoeba I have seen with a "perm" (hair style with large curls)
