This is a single-celled organism in the genus Blepharisma and it is dying. I don't find them in my samples often, they usually have pinkish color and they are photophobic it means when the light levels are increased they will try to swim to the darkened areas. If they are exposed to light or starved, they will lose their pinkish color and will look like this one in the video, also strong light can even kill the colored ones. I don't know why this one died but how it dissolves to nothingness just broke my heart. Big or small, life is fragile. 😔
