Anyone help on the ID, and is it likely anyone out there is culturing these?

I saw several of these in my tank as well. On close watch under the microscope for like 30 mins i never saw any one of them actually ingest a dinoflagellate. They look like Dinos in its belly but i doubt they are. At least in my observation they did not take an interest in the Dinos in their close sorroundings at all. I hope I'm wrong. I hope they do eat them in which case im loaded with those creatures.
