My 48oz lake jar I collected a month ago. Scuds and snails are booming but the snails might be overwhelmed by scuds. I'm quarantining some hornwort from the same body of water before introducing so I don't get more snail leeches. How do we look anyway?

I have options between:

wrecking ball (crit on explosive DMG)

Physician(100% healing effect)

Sharpshooter(60% ranged DMG buff)

I'm currently using an engineer/warden with heavy use of the heavy weapons. I have 80% damage resistance and ord ring for my tech recharge so I'm really solid there since I basically have infinite ammo with my heavy weapons. I was thinking that sharpshooter would likely work for any other build and this prism would best benefit from that roll, but I also thought having effectively 8+hp per second of Regen would likely be nearly insane on a regenerator build. Wrecking ball just doesn't work as well since I don't use many explosive options besides impact cannon. Inputs would be appreciated

I've managed to catch a glimpse of this flat worm looking critter a couple times around dusk, what is it and why is it so cool?

The jar is still thriving on the desk. We have had 2 scuds with egg clutches and I've found 3 separate bladder snail egg deposits on the glass. Waiting for some hornwart to come in but we have a small leafy aquarium plant and some duckweed (courtesy of bad decisions)

Photo for attention. I don't know what demographic this caters to but we're here.

I collected this specimen at a local lake for a second attempt at an ecosphere since my first one collapsed so quickly (bio load too high) and now I collected an entire jar of scuds, a water mite, 3 snails, and at least one visible worm. I know scuds can explode if they have no predators so what maintenance would I be looking at for this jar of dirt?

I checked on my first attempt at a snapshot ecosystem from a local pond and found these two hanging out at the edge! Any advice for future specimens would be much appreciated.
