This organism would fall under the Ciliophora Phylum. You can determine this by the description of it's "Harry structures all over it's body". The hair structures are called cilia, found most commonly on organisms in the Ciliophora phylum. The two nuclei is also a clue to this. One nucleus is for reproduction, and the other is for controlling the metabolism.
