Nice pictures, beautiful corals! I really need to learn to take better pictures. Great job!

Wow, wonderful corals and very crisp pictures.
Congrats on your obviously happy reef.

Any details on the equipement you use and settings to take those pics?

Cheers!

Just a Kodak EZ740 on macro, no flash and manual balance. The blasto is hard to take a pic because of the halide being right over it. Always looks washed out.

Very Nice

What is this coral called? I have one just like it but never knew a name.

old salty · 09/27/2006, 06:44 AM

It's called, "Showing offus maximus"!!

Seriously, those are some really nice pictures!!

dc_909 · 09/27/2006, 08:22 AM

turbinaria reniformis, I believe

skeeter-doc · 09/27/2006, 09:49 AM

yes, that is a yellow scroll coral, and yes great pics, lets see more! how about a full tank shot too

Sweet Blasto... do you worry about them being so close to the lights? Everything I have read about them says lower lighting because they are collected so deep in the ocean. Mine are doing great in my nanos. I wanted to go to MH at a later date and was worried about frying some of my favorite corals including my blasto. Don't mean to jack your thread just wondering about you experience with your blasto being so close to MH.

It is low in the tank, just directly underneath the halide. It does great there, it has been there for awhile.
