My Set-Up is is still relatively primitive; good Focus is hard to achieve using just a Cell Phone. Working towards getting decent Laptop so can go from Phone Camera to Full-Screen display - should be able to do a lot better Job of focusing then.

Great find!
These are not Stentors. This is a colony of the peritrich ciliate Ophrydium (a variety without zoochlorellae, such as O. crassicaule or O. sessile).
