Wierd ciliate

#1 Post by Phaulactis » Wed Sep 07, 2022 5:52 pm

Hi!
I found this wierd spiny ciliate this last sunday outside of Gothenburg, Sweden in a small saltwater puddle next to the sea. I have absoulutly no clue what it is, and neither does anyone else I've talked to. Does anyone here recognize it? Check out the videos i link below if you need another angle, it was really hard to photograph...
