Looking for an identification here. Looks like a rotifer, but I can't make out a mastax. Looks like it has a red eye spot.
OK, what are these organisms?

I looked at some videos of Keratella an it looks quite different. They don't have the little two-toe "foot," for example. But thanks for the suggestion.

Good point - Missed that.They don't have the little two-toe "foot," for example.
Will suggest Trichocerca in that case.

I think this is correct. I just got a comment on the YouTube version from Francisco Capilla, a pretty experienced microscopist, saying it is Trichocerca diurella. That ID is good enough for me. Thanks, 75RR!75RR wrote:Good point - Missed that.They don't have the little two-toe "foot," for example.
