I took this photo (and the sample) in the Adriatic Sea (Mljet, Croatia) on June 10th this year. The dinoflagellates I can identify to the genus. They are Tripos - correct me if I am wrong.

But I am not that good with animals. What is this thing on the left-hand side?

    You can’t just make up words like that and think people won’t notice.

      Making up words like that is called taxonomy. We have international societies that validate this kind of word creation.
