Bubble Tip Anemone

[Patrick Cox]

Hi all,
I am an avid photographer but new to reefing and fairly new to macro photography. I mainly shoot landscape and used to shoot some wildlife. Here are two shots of my new Bubble Tip Anemone. Comments / critiques welcome.

ps - One problem I know I have is micro bubbles in my tank. I am replacing my sump in August and hopefully this will get rid of these bubbles!

Try turning off your pumps for 5 or so minutes and the bubbles should stop by the time you are ready to start firing away.

Good idea. Thanks.

Nice. I would crop out the fish in the first one as it distracts from your main subject too much. Nice contrast and shadow below the BTA.

The problem with turning off your pumps in this particular case is that the flow is what is probably keeping your anemone suspended, otherwise it would look droopy. That is the case with my anemones anyways.
