Fine, post all the good ones first. At least I can post the last two (not as nice as the previous pics).

And that's all the zoas that I have right now (at least, all the ones that are open).

Are you using photoshop! It doesn't matter but the pictures are stunning!
Adobe lightroom for most of them. I did use photoshop on the second one to lower an annoying reflection on the black background. Other than that, all I've done is correct the white balance (except for the first, because I forgot), slight cropping, and minor adjustments to levels, exposure, saturation, and vibrance. With the exception of the cropping, those are all functions that most digital cameras do automatically. My camera just allows me the option of controlling that instead of letting the camera decide. I did my best to get the colors accurate to the way they look in the actual tank, with the exception of the first, like I've already said. I'll try to remember to upload the fixed version of the first pic tonight. It's a pretty good example of why some post-processing is necessary.
 
g0del what type of zoos are in the first pic? I just got a large colony of them and was wondering if you knew how much they are worth.

what are the first ones called?
I call them "The pretty green zoas I bought when I got my tax return". Expect to see G0del's official TPGZIBWIGMTR zoas going for $500 a polyp next month ;)

Type? They're umm. . . the kind I bought at the LFS because I liked the way they looked? Honestly I have no idea if they're a named color morph or anything like that. As for what they're worth, I paid $45 for the colony, so that's what they're worth to me.

Oh, and since I mentioned a few times that I forgot to fix the white balance, here's the same pic with the white balance fixed to more closely resemble them as they actually appear in tank.

When I saw them up in phoenix I just took them. The store I bought them from didn't know what they where so I was hoping you would know. I paid $70 for mine, but is about 2 times as big. :D
