Pants March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 Since I study dinoflagellates I feel compelled to mention this is a dinoflagellate (Karenia brevis). This is not one of the species I have found causing problems for hobbyists. It is conceivable though that this one would pop up in a home aquarium since it would be easy to have it carried in on some live sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtFully Acrylic (Adam B) March 15, 2013 Share March 15, 2013 So sad....and reading the comments is even more educating. Sad that so many think it's completely caused by nature in it's own way of "thinning the herd". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
