I've never tried it before (I also gave up with microzoo...), but you could attract them with a flashlight, most of ciliates or nanoflagellates (motile protozoans I mean) are phototactics. However, your rotifers may be phototactic as well... Do they are free living in the culture or fixed on a substrate? If they are fixed they won't move (I suppose), if not you need to used sieve.
