just wanted to share with you that I caught what I believe is a coral larva in my reef tank today. Judging by the color and shape, I am guessing it is a brown polyp larva (also since they spread all over the tank like crazy). I will attach a picture I took through a microscope so everyone can see my cool catch. There was more than one swimming in the tank, and I cought one and put it in its own bowl (or should I call it a nano reef?). If I am lucky enough, it will grow and I can observe it. If anyone has an idea on what species this guy is, please let me know!
