Nice! :) Most likely a Tetmemena.

Bruce, you are the GoTo Guy. Any chance they are related to Stylonychias?

Thanks for the ID.

Both Tetmemena and Stylonychia are in the same subfamily: Stylonychinae. However--and forgive me for geeking out about ciliate phylogeny :D--recent work shows Tetmemena is actually less closely related to Stylonychia than it is to some other common stylonychine ciliates, such as Sterkiella, Steinia, and Onychodromus (Luo et al, 2017).

But yes...they're related. :D
