Closterium


This organism is a diatom called closterium. Notice the red crystal in the end of it. It is a multicellular organism. The closterium is also phlorophyll green and photosynthetic. There are several that have been spotted in the microaquarium. For the most part, they seem to prefer the bottom of the tank near the dirt, although they can be found almost anywhere.
