Chroomonas collegionis is a species of cryptophyte alga in the family Chroomonadaceae, documented from freshwater environments. The specific epithet collegionis may refer to a collegiate institution or academic collection where the type specimen was described or preserved. Chroomonas species are small, biflagellate, unicellular eukaryotes that possess a plastid of secondary red algal origin, with a retained nucleomorph that is unique among eukaryotic algae. The cells of Chroomonas are typically ovoid, compressed, or slightly asymmetric in cross-section, with a ventral groove from which two unequal flagella emerge. The plastid occupies a large portion of the cell and contains photosynthetic pigments including chlorophyll a, chlorophyll c, alpha-carotene, and phycobiliproteins, whose precise combination determines the cell's color. Cryptophytes including Chroomonas collegionis contribute to primary production in freshwater ecosystems and are grazed by heterotrophic flagellates and ciliates, linking microbial primary production to higher trophic levels. The species is part of the diverse microalgal flora of European freshwater bodies and has been documented in phycological surveys of the region. It has not been assessed under IUCN criteria.

호주 동부와 동남부의 상징적인 유대류로, 체중이 최대 15kg이며 저칼로리인 유칼립투스 잎 식단에서 에너지를 절약하기 위해 하루 최대 22시간을 잠으로 보낸다. 대부분의 다른 포유류를 죽일 수 있는 유독한 유칼립투스 성분을 처리하도록 고도로 특화되어, 해독에 특별히 적응된 장내 미생물총을 지닌다. 2022년 기후 변화, 서식지 개발, 클라미디아 감염으로 인한 개체수 감소로 위기종으로 지정되었다.
