Centrophyxis Amoeba

[JimT]

A new find for me. About 60um's. Taken with Canon 60D and 20X obj.

Lovely amoeba image. Why do you think it is Centrophyxis? (I'm not implying it is not, only that I wouldn't have thought it was one).

Nice image. That is some seriously large alga!
Re - Amoeba: if those are Pseudopodia they are remarkably regular. Seem more like tendrils.
Did you manage any closer views?

Thanks all.

Centrophyxis is a guess because it looks like the drawing in a book I have and the size is right. But, the book says "Found in sphagnum moss" and this was in pond water. It definitely projected and retracted its "feet" and when I went back to it there were no pseudopodia visible and none were projected again..

Open to any other suggestions.
