Closterium

I am taking a shot in the dark at what the identification of this particular creature is. The closest thing I've came across that looks anything like it,

Closterium

Closterium is a desmid, a microscopic green algae that occurs in all types of freshwater habitats. Desmids are typically one-celled, though sometimes filamentous or colonial, and are divided symmetrically into semicells connected at a central point. Closterium is characterized by a sickle shape and sometimes contains gypsum crystals.
