Diatoms are normally so full of color! Not this diatom though... this diatom is colorless. P.S. This episode was sponsored by Manukora Honey! 📺:youtu.be/y2zIgHQx5mY?si=McQG… 🍯:manukora.com/microcosmos

I think this snazzy looking Platyhelminth worm is from the family Opecoelidae (please let me know if you think I’m wrong!). This family of worms is usually found as parasites on fish! #platyhelminth #plankton #zooplankton #marinebiology
