I am getting-

Salpingoeca, not the kind in the curvy wine glass but straight tube-

Salpingoeca dolichothecata, within an organic extracellular structure called a ‘theca’.

You are Vaginicola, a peritrich ciliate that lives in a little vase. :) Your vase (lorica) is very narrow at the bottom, but does not have a true stalk, so you are not Cothurnia, and it has no valve, so you are not Thuricola.

Bruce,

I actually first thought that as a website has a photo of one- Vaginicola.

Then I kept poking around cause seemed only ONE website said it.

You I know as the ID man so THANK YOU.
