In this weeks blog I found two organisms that I have not been seeing commonly.  The first one is this in the picture above. Its genus name is Centropyxis, it is found in the amoeba group.  What we can see of the amoeba is just its shell.  The organism is secreted to the glass of the microaquarium.(Patterson 2003)
