RSF Cerith snail larval development photoessay

I photographed and put together a short photoessay featuring the lovely RSF Cerith species that I am breeding in celebration of Ron Shimek's course at the RSF. I hope that some of these photos might be useful to illustrate different stages of snail larval development. You can view it here: http://www.ummfish.com/

Very cool Andy. It's so neat to see life develop in front of your eyes like that.

Great pics!  What cam were you using?

Thanks, y'all. It's an old Canon 20D with the Canon MP-65mm macro lens and a couple of external flashes mounted out on the end of the lens. What a cool lens! The _farthest_ from the end of the lens that it can focus is about 4.5 inches, but that's at 1x lifesize. At about 1" from the end of the lens you get 5x lifesize. The Ceriths were shot at about 3x. It's not terribly good at tank photos, but it's great at shooting stuff on the glass.

From the first pics I thought you where using a disecting scope to that the pictures. Wasn't until you mentioned the fouling of the glass that I realized it was a camera!
