But what would happen if you put it in your tank. It is found in the ocean.
Link didnt work because it's almost 5 years old. That site is probably not around anymore.Your link did not work for me but I suspect those are dinoflagellates. If you dive any reef at sundown go down a few feet and wave your arms around that will happen. It's pretty fun and I recommend you try it if you get the chance. Most people do not want dino's in their tank. I am not sure if the bioluminescient dinos are as problematic in a tank as the normal pests. If they don't choke out anything and release toxins they will likely use up their resources and eventually die out of the tank like other dinos.
Just recently they have themI wonder if there are any pods that have bi0luminescent that are available. Those might work out better in a reef environment.
I didn't even see it wast 2015 honestlyLink didnt work because it's almost 5 years old. That site is probably not around anymore.

I thought pod your reef did some but I can't find anyDo you know what species they are and where they are available? I have been looking for copepods or ostracods that are bioluminescent. I have kept a dino culture before and plan to do that again at some point but I have been looking for organisms that are more suited to a tropical reef environment which is not the most ideal place for bioluminescent dinos.
Where did you order from?I ordered some. I’m going to add some to my mini cube that I have in my bedroom after they adjust from shipping and start to multiply. I had them before and kept them in various containers. They never turned into that awful crap that “Dino’s” are known for in our tanks...

Sorry to revive an old thread but has anyone had any success with bioluminescent dinoflagellates in a reef tank?
Sorry to revive an old thread but has anyone had any success with bioluminescent dinoflagellates in a reef tank? YES. However, the Dinos are diluted and removed by mechanical filtration and predation. So If you were to add Dinos to a saltwater aquarium firstly you would wait until nighttime, turn out the lights and turn off the filtration (for a short period). Adding them to a saltwater aquarium at night in the dark is a dramatic for a few minutes. . The dilution of the Dinos minimize their effect a bit but it does provide a cool 'starry night' effect in your aquarium for several weeks
