id please (no pic...yet)

CAVINCA · 03-04-2008, 08:44 AM

I found something last night while i was checking the tank out. its almost to small to get a pic of and im gonna play around later tonight with my lenses and try to get a better pic.

what i found looked like little with specks on a piece of my LR. when i looked closer with like a 15X eye loop

they looked like little white stalks with tiny little bristle branches. they sway in the current but do not move like a critter. they are less than a milimeter long

, but i WILL get a pic... any ideas what they are.

Could be hydroids, could be micro dusters. Hard to tell without a pic.

CAVINCA · 03-04-2008, 09:13 AM

Well since i cant get a photo right now and probably wont be able to tonight without some serious ghetto rigging of my camera.. i took it upon myself to draw a picture of it

hows that adam?

Sort of like this maybe? Linky or this: Other pic

CAVINCA · 03-04-2008, 09:26 AM

nope... it pretty much looks as drawn. only difference would be scale. its a white cigar cylinder with little hairs coming off it.

I don't know...my guess is still a hydroid, but never come across something like that.

CAVINCA · 03-28-2008, 11:10 AM

oops... i forgot about these guys.. i took a pic and never posted.. these things were micro... incredibly hard to photo.

More than likely it is one of the many Anthoathecata/Anthomedusae/Athecata Hydroids
