Taxonomic remark This is probably not a gromiid (Gromia). However, it very much resembles the ectoparasite Oodinium. (See: McLean, N. & Nielsen, C. (1989) Oodinium jordani n. sp., a dinoflagellate (Dinoflagellata:Oodinidae) ectoparasitic on Sagitta elegans (Chaetognatha). Diseases of Aquatic Organisms 7: 61-66). [details]
