This small ciliate about 37um (0. 037mm) long, found in the shores of La Paloma - Uruguay (Atlantic Ocean).
Her body looks like a armor and with his foot and with its foot similar to a hook it can fight and dance looking for its meal.
We have already filmed before other ciliates of this genus, but more larger than that you see in the video:
