help ID these creatures

Post by fonakta »

Hi all, i need a little help. Such little critters i have never seen before.

The first one is absolutely new for me, had a rigid round shell and very fast movement spinnig around and around.
The second looks like a sessile rotifer, but not found any similar species.

The first, possibly trichodinia
The second is suctoria possibly Tokophrya or Acineta
