Little jelly

I saw this little guy swimming around my marine tank. He's about 1mm across and I managed to catch him with a glass pipette. 10x S-plan Achromat

Wow, amazing shot. I wonder how he got in there.

Thanks guys

Mitch a year ago I had a 120gal reef aqaurium with additional tanks in my basement for purification and growing inverts. I recently sold the system but kept smaller 50gal system in the basement with just live rock as a source of interesting samples. So the rock has been exposed to about 10 years of a high quality reef. I'm not sure if this is a larval jellyfish or a larval anemone. Would be geat if someone could ID this. I'll post a picture of the tank.

I'll be curious to see what it turns out to be. I wonder if he glows in the dark. Is he back in the tank?

Hi Mitch, yes I recovered him from the slide. Here is the picture of my old tank

I recently bought a flashlight that has an array of 51 UV LED emitters to experiment with blacklight illumination with the microscope. I bet it would light that tank up at night with all the lights out.

Linden,

Very beautiful image!

Do you find that you need to correct some CA in post processing when using the S Plan Achromat in darkfield?

Hi Charles, yes just a little touch of pale green and yellow. It wasn't too bad though

Hi there Linden,
Wow!

This is a great shot! I think I will take a trip to the coast near me to see what I can get.

Thanks for the inspirational shot
