Microorganisms!

Hi , does anyone know what is this microorganism?

 

It is a slug like organism which swims in the water and may also walk on algae

 

It has two fan-like structures on its head which spins to catch food particles.

 

The picture provided is at 100X under my microscope.

Can't capture full body because it keeps on moving around.

[Paramecium]

If it fan like structure keep spinning and that structure is made by cillia, it could be rotifers, the most smaller multicellular animals in the world. But i suggest it only from your description, from picture it is very hard to say what it is.

I agree, it sounds very much like a rotifer, from the description.

Thanks for identifying the following organism.

A friend of mine suggested the types of rotifers to me so I did some further research and concluded that it’s a Philodina rotifer.

Here is an anatomy of this organism.
