I got really excited for a few minutes. I thought this was a coccolithophore.
I think it's actually a radiolarian. Awesome anyway.

You can see it in action in the videos

I spent most my time observing this one. It would ball up anytime it seemed to get "spooked."

Chalk

...though the poster of the video is using some new math to count to ten.

Alright, finally getting around to posting these pics and vids. This past weekend I took a quick swipe of my aquarium glass before I cleaned it off. As with all the others posted full resolution on flickr.

This is fascinating! I could look at this all day, what a great idea

 

[jason2459]

Video playlist. Most all vids support at least hd, 4k, and many higher resolutions. Some are neet to see at .25 or .5x speed. One of my favorite things to watch this time were the dark field ciliates processing lots of water. Have to go full screen and you can see the currents flowing by.

You have some amazing photos and videos! Here's my contribution. I found this guy today:

Nice. Looks like possibly a type of paramecium with a piece of detritus stuck on one end.

Had to take a break from work.

Going 3" into a 5-6" area of my sand bed.
