Hi everyone,
I guess this is a species of Nassula, but not sure which one.
Sometimes I see one look exactly like this but full of green algae inside. Would that be the same species?
Thanks!

Re: which Nassula is this
It is not a nassulid, but something in the family Chilodonellidae (Trithigmostoma, Chilodonella, Pseudochilodonopsis, etc.). We'd need to see more detail to identify this to genus level (ciliature, distribution of contractile vacuoles, etc.).

Awsome, thank you very much! The photos and descriptions online seem to fit with the one I observed, at least at the family level .Bruce Taylor wrote: ↑Sat Dec 24, 2022 9:50 pmIt is not a nassulid, but something in the family Chilodonellidae (Trithigmostoma, Chilodonella, Pseudochilodonopsis, etc.).
