Found a new flagellate. Watch the video! This thing can 'snap' quickly.

I suspect this is some version of Trachelomonas. A big boy.

Hi.
In the video, although not clearly see the flagella,
for the way to move seems Anisonema genre
(You could try some form of oblique light to make the flagella more visible)
