Re: Protista: Gastronauta membranaceus

No problem - have there been many records for this and do you know if it is marine or fresh water?

It is freshwater (from my garden pond). I don't know about other records. You can see images and some other info on the photomacrography. net forum microscopy pages (search for Gastronauta). The NBN forum will not allow me to post the url
