Collected off jetty rocks near Marina Del Rey, CA
I'm jealous of those who live close to the beach...I live 2 hrs away, whenever I go I always bring a sample jar.

Really nice microscopy! The organism in the first video does not look like a ciliate, to me. It appears to be a ciliated metazoan (animal).

As far as I see, this is not a ciliate, but a flat worm (Tutbellaria, Rhabdocoela). He was pressed tightly, so that part of the inner parenchyma squeezed out at the posterior end of the body. Two black pigment spots in front are the eyes.
