    I've always liked the way these came out.

    Some Super-Macro pictures I took a while ago

    Took them with my Canon PowerShot S5 IS

    how do you get little creatures like that in your tank? I've had my 75 gallon for about a year now and I don't see anything like that on my glass.

    Mine crawled out of cultured live rock over time, as far as I know, it's just something that ends up in your tank when properly seeded.. They're incredibly good to have too.

    It's possible you'll rarely see them if you have fish that eat pods, such as certain wrasses (4-line, 6-line, etc) or mandarin's

    Nice pics!

    Munnids isopods, brown flatworms, and some kind of hyroid, and some type of tiny polycheate worm... all benign. There are lots of types of flatworms, only a few are really bad.

    I saw all of those in my tank when it was new. Check the tank at night too. Still have them but not so many. It is nice to see them up close!

    What kind of setup/lens did you use for these?

    Just my out-of-box camera (Canon PowerShot S5 IS).. no special lens, no special setup.
    The camera had a "Super-macro" function.


    I'm totally going to have to buy another Powershot now my S5 is broken, just haven't really felt the expensive is justified.. (will be once I have my new tank set up :))
