nice pics! two things...

1. can i be first in line for some rastas when they grow out
2. i dont think that hermit is reef safe, he may start chomping on your corals.

that hermit isn't reef safe, they knock alot over, but haven't hurt anything as of yet. They are fun to watch though... Especially Willy...
They're nice because I overfeed (IMO) and they eat alot... I'll put some brine in there and they'll tackle the cube like football players. Most of those shots were under straight actinic lighting. White balance does wonders!

yeah, since we cant afford a macro right now (Ace, listen up!) Tab went to the store and bought a little combo pack with three lenses, all of different magnification. It somewhat gives the illusion of a macro lens, but as you can tell from Mako's pics, there is no real substitute. This is a worthwhile, affordable alternative, though, as I think the lenses were a whopping 15 dollars. Oh, and Anthony, I found my greenies! they were hiding on a rock, not too far from the surface!!! Actually, the top pic is some of the ones that I bought from you!

Looking good!!! You gotta watch those green ones. they always stick together in a cluster and sometines will come unglued. Ive actually had it happen to me a couple of times.

Those hermit crabs are ones we got from the beach. I thought they were eating my purple zoas but I wasn't sure. Those were in my kidos tank though so we just moved them to the other tank. We'll have to keep and eye out for them eating other stuff.
