I took this photo (and the sample) in the Adriatic Sea (Mljet, Croatia) on June 10th this year. The dinoflagellates I can identify to the genus. They are Tripos - correct me if I am wrong.

But I am not that good with animals. What is this thing on the left-hand side?

Making up words like that is called taxonomy. We have international societies that validate this kind of word creation.
