Diatoms, up close and personal.

There are over 10,000 known species of diatoms... thought also to be the original source of crude oil.

Here's a couple of pics of diatoms scanned under an electron microscope.

The next time you see your Blenny chomping away, you can envision him eating thousands of tiny cool designs.
