A few pics

[MikeP]

Finally got a tripod and it made a world of difference in taking some tank pics - the red zoos are a bit blurry i shot that by hand. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the feedback - corals are

1) Turbinaria - plate/cup form

2) Zooanthids and palythoa plus a sailfin blenny

3) Torch coral - Euphyllia glabrescens?

4) Softy - maybe capnella variant, maybe litophyton - very fast grower

5) Monitpora capricornis, Ricordea yuma, Sinularia sp. , Sarcophyton, Seriatopora caliendrum, Zooanthids and a Platygyra brain - also my camera hog Regal tang.

Really cool pictures MikeP. What kind of camera and settings are you using?

[MikeP]

Manny - I am using a Canon g2 - no flash. I have a Coolpix 990 too just can't find the **** usb cable to pull pics onto the computer. The only adjustments I do is to set the white balance and then fix the contrast in Photoshop.
