Poor picture through cellphone camera and microscope. This was from the water sampled from the magnum filter I used to clear up the latest bacterial bloom. This runs in the display. Big critter in the middle looks like a copepod. There are also much smaller oval looming critters and they are numerous in the sample. Don't know what they are. You may have to zoom in to see them.

The big one certainly is a copepod. The others ... I couldn't begin to guess, but there are folks who might, so I'm bumpin' your thread.

#reefsquad, any thoughts on the smaller, greenish ovoid critters under the 'scope?
