I haven't seen this guy before. Can you actually identify the three small bugs, above Litonotus and to the left, in the first picture? They seem to have been ignored by so many sources and I have not b\found much on them at all. Of course, they always seem to be moving and are hard to see, but still interesting to me.

I think that the smaller organisms are most likely Chilomonas or some other similar smaller flagellate.
