Image of Haynesinidae

Description:

This specimen was collected on Sapelo Island, Georgia. The nearly transparent tendrils extending from the test are the reticulopodia. The green color is caused by chloroplasts that the foram has stolen from diatoms that it eats. Image courtesy of Susan T. Goldstein, University of Georgia.
