This video shows what appears to be an amoeba or testate amoeba
It has a small size.
In some scenes shows the creation of pseudopods.

A very interesting animal Francisco, although I have never seen one like it. I will wait to see what it is.

It is a testate amoeba: Hyalosphenia papilio. Nice catch!

Ferry thank you very much for your information
The physical changing of these protozoa me make it very difficult to identify.
In the latest water samples that I have seen displayed a tremendous amount of amoebae, some very odd and strange to me.
'll Post some videos soon of these amoebae
