New group acoel with dinoflagellate symbionts

Caption

An acoel with dinoflagellate symbionts (brown color). The acoel was collected from Okinawa, Japan, and was about 1 mm in length. This particular acoel is of interest because it may be a new group of acoels containing symbiotic microalgae. (Photos: Kevin Wakeman and Siratee Riewluang)
