I'm no expert, but looks like a Rotifer in a Lorica(shell)
Nice find.

thanks a lot.
i've tried to do some researches online but I didn't find anythings

It's not a rotifer. It's a vaginicolid ciliate (Vaginicola, Cothurnia, etc.). We don't see the base of the base of the lorica, so I'm hesitant to propose a genus-level identification.

Very interesting! Thanks for the correction.
