Thanks Atanas and Jemma. I thought it was a long shot that i would get an ID from this photo but at least there's some possibles!!

lori tas has a similar spotting.

Maybe some kind from Pyrrophyra/Dinophyta, but there are a lot of algaе that hide their pigments with another, and its impossible to be identified from so far and without a microscope.
