Yep, I looked for a size, too. IIRC, the giant amoeba that ate the Enterprise was 11,000 miles across.
To: NormsRevenge
are they 4 inches on the sea floor? or do they expand to 4 inches when brought up to sea level?

I think it said just one of it’s cells exceeded 4 inches. Thus my curiosity was piqued. Reminds me of the song: “The Amoeba that Ate Cincinnati”

The team documented the deepest known existence of xenophyophores, single-celled animals ...That's all they are is one cell.

Yes, but Detroit is still in trouble.
Give me one cell and one cell only, Vasily.

Are the amoebas looking for residuals from James Cameron for The Abyss?

Four inches. That's okay then.
When I was in high school, there was a one-act play that scared the bejeebers out of me. The Amoeba. The four-foot amoeba. Big enough to skeletonize its victims in three seconds of pitch black.
Very well staged. Still creeps me out more than thirty years later - Hallowe'en coming up again.
So four inches is just fine - you don't think they swarm like piranhas, do you?
To: Darkwolf377
LOL
I forgot all about that movie.

Does anyone have any idea how large the amoeba that ate the Enterprise was?
To: Darkwolf377
Go rent Disney’s “The Black Hole”.
That’ll purge the other one for a while.

Didn’t Kirk give it something like an intergalactic Ipecac so the amoeba would barf them back up?
