I came home today with a couple of frags and during the wash I found these microscopic guys. Definitely a crustacean of some kind. Seems like two parts, an articulated thicker body and thinner articulated tail. Both segments about the same size. The whole organism sorta rolls up like a potato/pill bug.
I can't express how small, less than a grain of sand. The images where shot against a white napkin with a macular lens. Hard to photograph with my ghetto setup.
I have no quarantine tank and I can't risk any nasties in my only tank so I think the frags, zoas, will end up in the toilet tonight unless someone wants to take a chance and pick up tonight in Surrey. Free. Call me before 10:00pm
