Mating amphipods

Lately i found over 110 small nassarius baby snails. No bigger than the grain of sand all over the sandbed. This one is too small for me to see with the naked eye yet.

Can you imagine the waste of money if i syphoned my bed every week. I lef a gorgone laying on my sanbed thinking i'd pick her up later. When i did half of it had been eaten away to the core, by critters. Nothing stays very long on my sand bed, its being eaten away pretty quick by the fauna.

Cirratulid worm

On this first picture the sand is loose but small worms are at work with mucus they stick and glue the sand together forming mats.

On this second picture the small worms have glued the sand together into a mat for what reason?

The dense mat will serve as protection maybe or for larvae or food for something else.

Pods ?


They roam everywhere for are mandarins and seahorses.

Some are translucent

3 pods 10 o'clock




Pods racing..... video

Lol a SEM and a TEM are a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope, they are the scopes that people use to look at really really small things, like the surface of a cell. They can have a mag power of up to 10,000,000. Imagine looking at the surface of a coral. You should put the mouth of a plate coral under your scope! This is probably one of my favorite threads on here so far keep the pictures coming.

autopsy of a fish

Well i lost a fish this week with no apparent reason so i did an autopsy to see if i could find anything inside that couls shed some light on why. Because from the outside, no apparent reasons; no bites marks or entry of any sort was visible, he didn't appeared to be abused in any way or hit or have been through any pumps, a mystery, and he was just a year old.

The chromis seemed in good health and ate very well with his 5 other companions, and the shoal together

At first i thought of infighting, but with no marks on the body....

Ich would of left some entry point i guess too.

So i made an incision and went inside to take a look at the organs to see how they look.( being such an expert lol.)

IMO the heart which seemed ok






.

On the right the huge liver has no trace of pest and has a good color, for all i know.

As for the rest same conclusion , could be chemical, or any other things i don't know and thats plenty of things. Stress who know. I any of you are vets and see somethings let me know thanks for watching.

Dr. Basile to the OR. Paging Dr. Basile to the OR! :whoo: Pretty awesome. I've done things like that with my kids. Unlike most kids, they get excited when a fish dies.
