Re: Testate amoeba: Diflugia corona
So does the amoeba live inside of the test as a separate entity or is it more integrated physically with it? Or another way, can it shed its test and start over?

Re: Testate amoeba: Diflugia corona
A good question!
The amoeba builds its shell from collected residues: mineral or organic particles, diatoms ... (eg, Difflugia). The parent often builds the daughter shell. In other cases the particles of shell are generated endogenously. I think that if the shell is damaged and survives, it can be rebuilt again.

Wonderful video (and pictures), as usual
The only aspect I'm not sure to like is the background color, in some cases with a light purple or magenta tint. Have you tried to do a custom WB before filming in order to get a neutral background?
