Very interesting animal Abel. Does he move fast? I have not seen anything like this here.

Superb images/technique; especially the DIC.

Hello ¡

Loxophilum is not rapid, but this ciliate moves very much ¡¡

Very impressive ABEL. I like the details in the 40x DIC image. These too reside in my fish tank but do not seem to always be present.
