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
The lake is quickly being covered with algae which is providing convenient islands for the flies to rest.

Many species of pink coralline algae, which cements coral reefs together, cover a reef surface in the Southern Line Islands.
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.

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.
Oh, I just had to!
