This is the Algae Blenny hanging out in the Snake Polyps. Tragically, he just died recently. I loved his "eyebrows".
First attempt with Lumix GF1 camera attached to Zeiss intermediate photo tube. 40x Zeiss Plan Achromat lens, modified brightfield setup. Stack of 6 photos. Diatoma vulgaris or Diatoma hiemale?

Growing Algae to feed the brime shrimp, who in turn feed the lobsters...the lobsters are grown in the lab and put into the ocean. Local repopulation efforts
Diatom from pond water. Photo taken with Zeiss PMII scope 60x semi-plan objective (Chinese) and Canon EOS 60D camera equipped with Zeiss 47 60 10 intermediate tube and Leitz 4x projection lens. Modified brighfield.
Gold Algae Eater
Gyrinocheilos aymonieri
This slender algae eater has a silver underbelly with a bright yellow/gold back. A horizontal line that is patterned runs along the side. The Gold Algae Eater comes from Northern India. It is usually kept in tanks for the purpose of keeping algae under control.
The main source of food is algae on plants, rocks, glass, and driftwood. Algae based wafers should be provided if there is a lack of algae.
Algae Closterium from pond water. Nikon S-Kt pol. Moticam 2300 camera, 20x Nikon plan objective. Modified brighfield setup.
The thallus in these algae is coenocytic - i.e it is not divided into separate cells by cross-walls as in most other plants. The whole of the structure seen here is therefore techically a single cell! In spite of this, these algae have a remarkably complex morphology, with the thallus divided into the equivalent of roots, horizontal stems and leaves, although it is assumed that there is no homology between the structures seen in these plants and those of terrestrial groups.

A bit of a digifiddle made a most interesting result.
It used to take a couple of days to make screen or lino print like this, and now 10 minutes will do!
