•  Can anyone identify this critter

  Author Message CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 4:02 AM (permalink) 0 The video sort of says it all.   The item it is standing on is a blue tang egg.  The video is at 40x magnification so it would put this guy at or about 0.05mm or less. Please only bother with the first 3 seconds and the last 10 seconds.  I uploaded direct to YouTube and dont know how to trim out the middle where it stalled. Do we think its good or bad?   <message edited by CaptCrash on Friday, June 1, 2012 6:10 AM>   #1 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 6:33 AM (permalink) 0 I have no idea, but it is pretty cool. Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #2 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 6:39 AM (permalink) 0 Its an odd critter, it would walk around on its legs, sort of strutting about, then stick he "fan" end up and fan for a while, then drop down, strut back and do it again.   It reminded me of a little dog.  I was not happy about all of this being cut off in the middle by youtube and replaced with a big stall.   #3 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 6:45 AM (permalink) 0 Oh, you had all that recorded?  How interesting.  I wonder if it is a threatening critter or a harmless critter?  Did you buy a microscope or are you still taking your images with that crazy cool camera set up? Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #4 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 6:48 AM (permalink) 0 Even better solution than purchasing one. One of the guys on a local reef site, that I have only meet a couple of times had one that had been sitting in his cupboard for a couple of years. I asked for advice on the site, if anyone had experience with microscopes as to what I should focus on in terms of features.   I now have it on extended loan, so it is getting some use.   Its funny though, for some things the camera is still easier (as the subject gets bigger). <message edited by CaptCrash on Friday, June 1, 2012 8:52 AM>   #5 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 11:27 AM (permalink) 0 I would think it's some type of ciliate of some sort. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #6 luis a m Total Posts : 451 Scores: 2 Reward points : 1249 Joined: 3/15/2011 Location: Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, AR Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 12:01 PM (permalink) 5 Looks like Euplotes.   #7 CaptCrash Total Posts : 660 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1296 Joined: 10/23/2011 Location: Perth, WA, AU Status: offline MBI: 2050 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 12:12 PM (permalink) 0 luis a m, that looks like the little guy. From a quick bit of reading, it seems the walking on cirri is quite unique. Now I need to find him/her/it again or a cousin and try and video some of its antics   #8 luis a m Total Posts : 451 Scores: 2 Reward points : 1249 Joined: 3/15/2011 Location: Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, AR Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 12:32 PM (permalink) 0 They are like miniature roaches;flat and crawling around scavenging.   #9 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Can anyone identify this critter Friday, June 1, 2012 7:34 PM (permalink) 0 Oh lucky you Darren!  I've been thinking of looking at microscopes...  Cool to see a Euplote up so close.
