Cannot wait for this one to color up - not sure which one it is yet. Stinks when the background is more colorful than the coral. :)

I'll say it again....VERY nice pics! What kind of camera are you using?

[princer7]

Thank you!! The camera is a Canon 40D with a 100mm Macro lens. Natural tank lighting was used - helps to have 500 watts. :bigsmile:

That dwarf moray is cool! Wher'ed you get it?

[princer7]

I got the eel off ebay :bigsmile:. The guy is a licensed diver & collector in Hawaii. I fed the eel tonight and is eating very well. Has not been a bother to any of the other fish in the tank.

[JimD]

What kind is it, do you have an ebay link??

[princer7]

It's a Golden Dwarf Moray Eel (Gymnothorax melatremus). I'll PM you the link to the auction I bid on. He has more available.

[JimD]

Cool! Thanks!

You are an excellent photographer. Some of the best pics I've seen. Wish I was that good with my macro.

[stoneroller]

Very well done. Cool to see the scales on a firefish.

This one I am kind of mixed on. Caught this one in a yawn - looks kinda odd but also tough.

How do you keep the depth of field so large? I've only managed to get a everything in focus by pulling back and then cropping the image?

I would love a lesson some time?
