Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure is this organism is Ostracod or just some big ciliate.
Maybe photos are not perfect for identification, but some of you guys probably could help. Thanks.

Yes, this is a ostracode (and certainly not a ciliate), but shell is empty, it is also a dead animal. I dont know the species.
