I think I've got a #nassula here. This is a fascinating #cilliate.
You can see a bit of flow around it. Found this beauty in sediment at depth of 20 mtr. #freshwater

Two cilliates in a sheath, attached to the copepod

One tail antenna.

Short head antennas.

A #copepod I've never seen before. Any ideas? It also has two unknown #cilliate stowaways. #plankton #freshwater #microscopy #zooplankton #biofouling
