I don’t know. They are too fast for me. Try this

Dinoflagellate Identification Guide

I've had this laying around for a while. Had some recent interest, so I tweaked it a bit and am posting it. Not really about cures just ID pictures, videos, and a few short facts. Hope it can be helpful.

I thought Ostreo was more seed shaped, rounded on one end and pointed on the other...

A real dino expert will likely come along soon, but from what I've seen, I was under the impression that that tethered movement pattern around a fixed axis demonstrated by many of the dinos in the video is pretty pathognomonic for Ostreopsis.

They seem to be only on the sand bed and not very snotty?
