>The entire cell contains several cytoplasmic domains with each domain having a nucleus and a few chloroplasts.

This somehow feels like a multicellular organism that didn't quite make the jump that other eukaryotes did.

Reminds me of slime molds. If I'm not mistaken, they can switch between multicellular and unicellular forms, where their separate cells merge into a single giant one, though still with multiple nuclei.

These are even bigger (20cm/8in): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophyophorea

If you want to go with the biggest cell, an ostrich egg is some 15cm diameter and 1-2 kgs.

AFAIK, the egg isn't a single cell. The actual embryo connected to the yolk inside is significantly smaller

What do they taste like?

No taste aside from slightly salty. The texture was a turn off as well. I would compare it to eating Ulva straight from the culture tank. I suggest Red Ogo with a crisp texture and a slightly salty cucumber flavor. I also use it as the last ingredient in chevichee, before the lemon juice begins to break down the texture

Every saltwater tank owner knows the frustration of bubble algae.
