This is possible; I believe that it is vaginicola subcrystalline; at the moment.

I often see these creatures, but can't take such great pictures.
My question is: why sitting always two in one lorica? Mating pair?

Sincerely I do not know the motive. Some rarely there is an alone organism in the lorica.

These microorganisms proceed of here.

Great pictures,

Then; is this a thuricola?

Yes, Thuricola. Wonderful pictures!

There seems to be a bit of puzzlement about the valve, so I've pointed it out:
