A pic of one of the adults, killed with a drop of bleach. 40x mag. They seem to be quite a bit smaller than the Tisbe.

Thought I should give a brief update. This culture has received minimal attention since starting it. I have split it maybe 4 or 5 times, add some new salt water after the split. I have added some live tetraselmis at random intervals (probably every 2-3 weeks on average). I recently thought it was dead (so it appeared when I would glance at it in the corner of my fish room). Today I took the bottle out and examined it with a flashlight through the side & found it teeming with pods. Under the scope there were tons of adults and naups. So I did a split (sieved off half and added it to my frag tank) and refreshed the culture with NSW and a touch of tet. Here's a short vid clip: https://youtu.be/_UFnhUAN8pY Guess I should file a continuation report....
