Was going through a sample of salt water from Puget Sound. So far I have only looked closely at salt water samples a couple times, and so there were many specimens that were "new" to me. For some (unfounded) reason I don't expect to find ciliates so similar to the ones I am accustomed to seeing in freshwater, but they are certainly there.
And when the salt water starts drying up on the edge of the coverslip it's hard not to go a little "'60's"

Re: Salt water ciliate, psychedelic salt water
Hi Charles,
this ciliat surely preferred diatoms. Did you see the oral apparatus?
So long, Wolfgang
