another hitchhiker under microscope

[Stevebhammer]

So I dont think I will do this again, its distrubing looking at coral that you think are clean under the microscope!

This is under dissecting microscope about 25 to 30x magnification,
Pistal shrimp, mantis shrimp or some other type of cocopode???

You should order a phone holder for your microscope. This was the best $19 I’ve spent and it works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013D2ULO6

Tanaid, shrimp-related.
(Fun random stuff) On the flat worm, each brown dot is its version of zooxanthellae, like corals.
I messed around with the flatworms in my tank under the scope and determined that their symbiotic algae is a totally different family of dinoflagellate (amphidinium) than the symbiodinium in any of my corals.
