Pediastrum Duplex

Pediastrum Duplex is a type of freshwater green algae. They procreate asexually when one peice of its geometric pattern is dislodged. This dislodged piece will grow to be at least 8 but up to 38 pieces. It will be round outside and grows inside out. Unfortunately not much is known about this algae as not too many studies have been conducted on it. However no one can deny the complexity hidden within it.
