Hi everyone!

I was hoping someone could ID my Dino’s for me!

Thank you!

I'm not convinced this is actually a common type of dino found in our aquariums. It resembles are large cell amphidinium but the "beak" doesn't look typical.

@taricha, is this a dinoflagellate?
yes, this is a form of large cell amphidinium, as Idoc said.
this one from the last pic looks more typical....

the others look like we might be viewing them from the bottom - maybe it has an inverted swimming/gliding position.

Interesting, what’s my best course of action?
