Genus
Common name: Parvocaulis
Scientific name: Parvocaulis
Parvocaulis is a genus of benthic foraminifera, which are single-celled protists with a calcareous shell. These organisms are not typically kept in home aquariums due to their specialized nature and the difficulty in meeting their environmental needs. However, they are of interest to scientific communities for their ecological roles in marine environments and their use as bioindicators for water quality and paleoclimatology studies.
