Great video. It shows their amazingly complex movement and control, I realised that have no idea how it achieves that.

That is a nice video! It is not Amphileptus procerus, though, it is a dileptid ("Dileptus" in the old-fashioned sense).

It has a "string of beads" (moniliform) macronucleus, so is either Monilicaryon or Pseudomonilicaryon (probably the latter)

Thanks for your help in identifying this ciliated, a difficult task for a simple hobbyist.

Very nice clip, thanks for sharing! It looks like it's a bit limited in its movement trapped between the glass?

Regards,
