Help needed on this one.

[D0c]

Here is a very strange ciliate I need help identifying.

I followed this one around for at least 20 minutes and it didn't change shape at all in that time. As for the size if you look in the first video at about the 1 minute mark a Urocentrum visits and as you can see it's about a third of the size of a urocentrum.

Thanks

It's a fragment, a piece of a damaged hypotrich.
