I looked for a long time, watching a bunch of ciliates that didn't eat dinos.
But in addition to those on the video, I saw two more different species of ciliates today with dinos in their belly.
I'm starting to wonder if there's something to ciliate predation - at least for less toxic dino species.
Ran across this AA article
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/10/breeder on culturing ciliates. I might flirt with the idea a bit.
