After 3 months without sand, i put back this portion, in a corner of the tank. After a month, the brown/red patches start to show up.

Dec 12, 2019 · Can you provide any additional information or observations about the Symbiodinium-like (Chrysophyte?) cells described in your ID guide? I definitely have a few patches that have developed in my sand bed. Under the microscope the cells are TINY (approx. 10 um) and motionless as you describe. They are embedded in a thick mucus.
