Description:
Raphidiophrys elegans can be found either grouped in colonies or as solitary living individuals. In colonies, the disc-shaped spicules form elongate cone-shaped accumulations around the pseudopodia. In solitary living individuals the spicules are arranged more tangentially. The spherical nucleus is placed eccentrically. Usually with one contractile vacuole. Symbiotic algae are sometimes present. Differential interference contrast.
