The algal species shown in the picture below is fairly abundant in my 5 gallon aquarium. Looked through my reference but could not ID this one – any ideas?
Nikon Coolpix 4500
Zeiss Photomicroscope II
Leitz Periplan 10x/18 (519488)
Zeiss Plan-Neofluar multi-immersion phase 16x/0.50
Zeiss achromatic-aplanatic VZ NA 1.4 phase condenser
Electronic flash – partial phase contrast
Neat Image
Paint Shop Pro 7.0 – auto contrast
Helicon Focus - 3 image stack
Can you ID this algal species?

Crawled the PI server but found only "close to look alikes." Unusual specimen. Maybe KenV may have a reference on it in one of his books.
