Description :

"Watermelon forams"--These foraminiferans possess chlorophyte (green algal) endosymbionts which give to the living cell a characteristic "grass green" coloration (specimen on right). Under high light (high UV?) conditions, the symbionts produce carotenoid pigments (salmon pink specimen on left).
