Ceratocorys horrida is a species of dinoflagellate. The species was first listed by F. Stein in 1883.[1] The body may be round in shape, or angular.[2] The species has spines emanating from its body which may vary in length, which has resulted in the species described in various forms.[1] C. horrida is widespread around the globe, found in temperate to tropical ocean waters in the Neritic zone.[2] It is among the dominant species in the Humboldt Current.[3]
