[Europhyllia]

see and RayAllen thought we wouldn't have lots of great entrees/entries! ;)

[stoneroller]

Switch to zoanthids!! They are not on the calendar, everyone has them (almost), and they are so photogenic. Who's got the muscle??

[Jarob]

I agree with the zoanthids!!! OR top-down pictures!

Boxfish are so cute! He looks like an hors d'oeuvres. Like a cheese cube with a toothpick in it.

[Pennies2Cents]

Cowfish & Zoas? Your thoughts???

[RayAllen]

Cowfish & Zoas? Your thoughts???

Most of the boxfish/Cowfish ive seen were in Fish only tanks not reefs. Im not sure how that would work.

[Mr Cob]

"What if you made this contest a little exciting..." ....and allowed the previous submissions for BoxFish?

Great idea...I say DO IT! :p

[RayAllen]

Unless you meant Cowfish or Zoas. Definately going to get a lot of picture of just Zoas.

[Pennies2Cents]

So, the ones that say "demo" are not eligible for the contest per POTM contest rules (non-charter, previous winner, etc.)? Just trying to make sense of this.

Lots of great photos!

[Pennies2Cents]

That is correct Kristy! :)

[Europhyllia]

Whew. Some the best ones are DEMO!
