Our apologies for not getting a better picture of an EcoSphere. The tiny shrimp refused to take direction. All the microorganisms may have put on quite a show, but, since they're invisible to the naked eye, we'll never know. The algae did sit still and look green for the photo. These mesmerizing EcoSpheres are entirely self-contained ecosystems. Only light -- not food, nor water, nor air -- gets in. The residents somehow all cooperate to sustain their environment. Our dads should be so lucky.
