Let me preface this by saying that I'm not really happy with the quality of today's post.
I have not yet set up my microscope for reflected light microscopy which makes larger specimens a challenge. I had to use dark-field and focus stacking and still didn't manage to get that nice crisp image I was looking for.

This Spirorbid worm (see common hitchhiker guide section 3) was taken from my filter sump's glass wall:

I still made an DIC recording so you can see what hides in the tiny little white spirals that you probably can find all over your tank. Again, it looks like Cthulhu's offspring just like post #24:
