Lets play: what plankton is this?

[tajaba]

Hey guys, I've been a lurker here for a while now and first off, many thanks to this forum and community as a whole. you guys have made reefing alot easier for many people.

but now I need your help.

I am currently having some fun with my microscope along with culturing various phytoplanktons and zooplanktons for fish larvae.

I looked around this site and the info on various planktons seem to be scattered over many different threads.

So i figured might as well make a new one specifically on microscopic pics of various planktons that we know or don't know of!

I'll start:

Artemia hatching

Artemia Nauplius

DISCLAIMER: I'm not really sure about this next one, so if someone knows for sure, feel free to correct me!
Barnacle larvae

some sort of worm?

Diatom (species?)

Green zooxanthellae

assorted algae

Copepod (don't know the species)

 

[tajaba]

Cylindrotheca diatom

I assume this is a copepod larvae of some kind (it was from a copepod cylinder)

here it is again after diatom dosing

Isocrysis (FAF strain)

next to a Cylindrotheca (it was very difficult to get this picture)

another picture of Isocrysis, this time the culture is contaminated with another algae

:spin2:
