From my "living" fish tank. 40x Hoffman, GIF turned greyscale, single exposure. I took several to get a stack, but it was moving... maybe I'll make an animation. Cropped to make it square at 4000x4000 or so and then 25%.

It is a Heliozoa "sun-animalcules", almost for sure Actinophrydae.

Thanks, Pau! I knew I'd seen one one here before, but couldn't remember what it was. :(
