I have hundreds of these tiny creatures. I'd say they are about 0.3 - 0.8mm in diameter. Here are some shots at 1x to 5x magnification on a 21MP camera body (for judging size):

Squiddies... yeah they are freaky when seeing up close. I wiped my glass clean of algae and within 20 minutes they all were back on the glass panel. Quite amazing.
