This creature shares similarities with other ciliate.
Example here. Ciliates include parmecium and are protozoa.
Vorticella, another ciliate, from darwin.baruch.cuny.edu
And from Phylum Cilophora, which provides a breakdown of genus and species.

3/15/07 -- Zooplankton video on youtube.com, video one
The first in the above video, I'd already seen and photographed on several occasions. The second individual which appears, (Zooplankton Video #2) is a new one however. The algae sample I recently took from BCC has set near my bathroom window for a few days, to let the phytoplankton feast on the warm sunshine. I left it there for the past few days and didn't refrigerate. I noticed tonight's slide was full of zooplankton activity -- far more than usual, far more than phytoplankton, including some individuals I haven't seen before in rather large numbers.

Some of the strange loops and curves this little creature takes during its swim.
There was a third species
Third Video, Zooplankton and Fourth Video, Zooplankton much smaller than the previous two, which I was fortunate to keep up with briefly, with the camera. These creatures move fast, and sometimes make difficult subjects to photograph or film. Here's that cute little bug again in Video #5 zooplankton, and as its going around in circles another even smaller zooplankton swims by, but is streamlined and shares more similarity with fish.
Species #3
Here's the first species, in video one I wish to identify, caught in Zooplankton video #6.
The second species, caught in zooplankton video #7.
Video #8 Zooplankton shows one of the small zooplankton species swimming beneath what appears very likely to be a deceased ostracod of sorts (favors a small clam), you can still make out the hairs on its shell. Very brief but clear species #2, Zooplankton video #9. Species one is also captured on Zooplankton video #10.
