Heterotrophs
they eat by photosynthesis or by other organisms......
Most protist heterotrophs feed on bacteria, algae, other protists, and organic matter in their environment. They use various mechanisms such as phagocytosis, osmotrophy, or absorption to obtain nutrients.
Protists have diverse feeding habits. Some protists are autotrophic, meaning they can produce their own food through photosynthesis. Others are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter. Some protists are mixotrophic, combining both autotrophic and heterotrophic feeding strategies.
Protists can have a diverse range of feeding strategies, including photosynthesis (autotrophic), consuming organic material (heterotrophic), or a combination of both (mixotrophic). Some protists can engulf food particles through phagocytosis, while others can absorb nutrients from their surroundings.
Protozoa are preyed upon by a variety of organisms, including other protozoa, microscopic animals like rotifers and nematodes, as well as larger organisms such as fish, invertebrates, and some species of bacteria and fungi. Additionally, certain protists, like amoebas and ciliates, feed on other protozoa.

Amoeba eats other organisms and smaller protists
The only organisms that like to eat protists that I have heard of are other species of protists and people fond of Japanese cooking.
Well, it could be a protist itself or a parasite. Some parasites eat Daphina. Or, as a protists itself, an amoeba can eat algae.

algae and small fish and protesitits
Organisms that eat other organisms for energy are hetreotrophs.
Organisms that eat other organisms are called consumers or predators.
Autotrophic heterokonts do not consume other organisms and produce energy by harvesting light, whereas heterotrophic heterokonts obtain their energy by consuming other organisms regardless of the presence of light.===========================================The above is actually a good answer although a little difficult to understand. (although heterotrophic heterokonts are NOT carnivores).In essence the diatoms that yu are thinking about (the ones that live on light) do not eat bacteria when placed in the dark.

Micro-organisms are commonly consumed by other micro-organisms, such as bacteria and protists, as well as by larger organisms like fungi, small invertebrates, and some aquatic animals. These organisms play an important role in regulating micro-organism populations in various ecosystems.
