@revhtree is it possible to get a forum for microscope use and ID of algae and bacteria? It would be nice to have one spot that has the info on how to select a microscope, how to prepare a slide, and how to take a pic. Then have a place where we can post the pics for ID. Just a thought.

While on topic, does anyone know where to purchase prepared slides of coral and fish parasites and bacteria that are identified for reference?

So, I think it had a look at zooxanthella today. My clam is, unfortunately, under huge stress, andd I noticed that it was excreting something. I initially thought it was clam poop and put it under the mic. Below find the results:
