Natural Habitat
Typically found on kitchen surfaces, dinnerware (like the blue ceramic shown), pool tiles, or areas with hard water buildup.

N/A (Inanimate object)

Stationary. These appear to be crystalline deposits or food residue left on a textured blue surface (likely a plate, mug, or tile). They do not move or reproduce.
