Diatoms. There are apparently quite a variety of these little critters!

They could be called the 'snowflakes" of the biological world!

See this image

Description:
Diatoms are algae that live in 'houses made of glass'. They are the only organism on the planet with cell walls composed of transparent, opaline silica. Diatom cell walls are ornamented by intricate and striking patterns of silica.
Regards,
Rudi

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.
