Like that anemone on the 4th one

[Europhyllia]

Yes, It's a beautiful display of form and motion. Such long tentacles! It would be great if the photos came with subtitles to let people know what is shown. :)

[Third Coast Tropical]

Perhaps after the contest the photographers could do that for you Karin, and everyone else. Good recommendation for future contests.

GS, very cool. I like that most of the picture is in the dark and the anemone is the only thing illuminated.
Congrats! :)

My own caption:
My photo is picture 1- PJ Cardinals which actually really are schooling fish in the traditional sense. ;) The picture shows two out of a group of five in front of a yellow finger gorgonian.

[Gseclipse02]

oh yea theres a PJ Cardinal in the pics also lol ( top left)


karin my gf was looking at the pics and says look the PJC's match with the coral lol

[Europhyllia]

They do! Until I had Gorgonians I didn't know why they had these weird patterns but they love to be in them and then their patterns totally make sense :)
(funny story about your Petco purchase by the way :D )

Pic 3 was mine.

Onyx perculas raised from egg by me (eggs courtesy of Minh)...a little over 9 months
Peppermint shrimp scurrying in the back....been trying to catch it and its cohort for weeks to switch them to my "Aiptasia tank"...fast little boogers
This is in my nice reef tank, since the pair of clowns is not yet sexually mature...
The Fox coral in the background is awesome!!!...My favorite type of coral.

Thanks to all who voted for mine.

[Europhyllia]

L, that must feel great to have fish you raised yourself from eggs!

My popular picture was #2. I've had the PS clown (female) inside the not so bubbly bta for close to a year. The PS on the right (male) was added a couple months later. Both came from Reef2U. The ruffle ridge coral is the yellow sps that my blood shrimp (From Wolf Reef) is hanging on. It came to me as a browned out coral, I thought was dead, buried in some sand I had bought. If you look close Waldo (bicolor blenny) is hiding behind the shrimp's antennas lol.

[Europhyllia]

What a lovely ruffle ridge coral! :D

[Kristy]

What a lovely ruffle ridge coral! :D

Even lovelier with the cool story that goes with it. Just makes you love it all the more! (PS: Waldo is a perfect name for that bicolor!)

[Europhyllia]

And even more lovely since Justin just broke a piece off and it's now in my tank. ;)
