I think the term "plankton" usually refers to "zooplankton". Basically "phyto"=plants "zoo"=animals.

Although now that I think of it, does that still work for "zooxanthellae"? Zooxanthellae are dinoflagellates, which I thought was more like a photosynthetic bacterium. Are they capable of motion? I'm not sure.

I guess I'm taking the thread off track now. Whoops, sorry...
