Little Bugs

It has been a week since I moved all the fish to the quarantine, and they look great.  Dory the blue tang has recovered and swims (upright :)

The main display tank is now fish free, and I noticed a bloom of  little white spots on the glass and the overflow box.  Since I couldn't tell what they were, I asked my husband to photograph them with his macro lens setup.  It was a crazy setup with tripods, electronic motors, switches, lights, and of course, a very nice camera and lens. Here is what we found in the tank:

A copepod







A Staurocladia (Tiny Hydroid Jellyfish)
