I only put it at 1.5x speed cause there is a slow peaceful serenity
until the uninvited guest keeps showing up at their get together.

What are we?

Water sample is from Strawbridge Lake, mini pond, warming up inside now 2 days.

Yes, Holosticha pullaster (trailing transverse cirri, contractile vacuole in the posterior half of the cell). An Oxytricha would have visible marginal cirri.
