    Which Dino do I have?

    Pretty sure it’s a Dino just not sure which. I’ve had Ostreopsis before which I beat with silicates and UV. Can I do the same with this one?

    Is this Dinoflagellates?

    Does this look like Dinoflagellates? I have a microscope on the way to verify but wanted to see what everyone thought visually.
