What happens to Trachelomonas?

We have filmed earlier Trachelomonas
But in this case we see that other organisms "hang" by some of them
Casual organisms that grow on them?
Stages of reproduction?
(It does not reproduce thus, but I have never seen organisms subject to its shell
I am grateful for any information on this matter)

Hi Carlos, At first glance, they look like epiphytes. You often find them on crustaceans and larger algae. These epiphytes must be very small.

You can see the red eyepatch of the epiphytes. So they could be Euglenophytes or Chlorophytes.

Thank you very much for your opinion Ichthy
At first I thought the same. I have not observed flagellum to them.
either I have not seen them recluses swimming free.
Seem small Trachelomonas without shell
Perhaps be a repdoducción way
What do you think?
