Cool pic of wicked Aptasia

This was taken last week after it was identified as an Aptasia right before its demise in my new, in progress 55 gallon. I used a Sony Matavia 2.0 megapixel that uss mini cd's for storage. I know, old school but this takes great pics. Mind you, this was before I had the lighting set up. Pic one was taken with the same camera with a flashlight held in the other hand.




This second one was with same camera but with a small light from a 10g Anole tank.

Flipper.......That jus ain't right!

It may, however, be the best likeness of an aptasia yet.

Beware. Feeding Don Kings to Aptasia makes them grow very quickly.
