A while ago I posted that a great NY area professional photographer (and avid reefer) named Jonathan Hale took some gorgeous shots of my tank but I had to pull the post since I over photshopped! Jonathan has subsequently fixed them up properly so here are some of the best. (I saved my fave until last!)

You've probably seen the first 3 (from a year ago) but all others are brand new. These shots helped me win the CTARS TOTM for October (our Ct. Area Reef Club.)

Enjoy and happy reefing!

grouperhead - the randalls are a pair and they have a VERY industrious tiger pistol who is constantly digging. The shrimp has now made tunnels with exits is 3 of the 4 corners - quite the architectural engineer! We couldn't get photos of him as he was hiding as was the christmas wrasse.
 
I have a pink spotted, and got that one because my LFS never gets Randalls. Adding a tiger pistol sometime in the near future, can't wait.
 
AAAH Phanman - that's my FAVORITE Cynarina Lacyrmosa. It has tripled in size since I got it last May and when fully inflated, its the size of a softball! Then at night after lights out, it turns "inside out" and deflates to the size of a baby's fist! It's a fascinating coral- it filter feeds but you can also place a small piece of krill or shrimp in the mouth and it closes up in about 2 minutes! glad you like it

Beautiful tank and corals, Susan, congrats!
Just one nitpick, can;t help myself... :D
Correct name for that coral is Cynarina lacrymalis.
Hope you don't mind. ;)
 
Beautiful tank - that stand and canopy look primo. I like your pipefish and blenny- nice colors esp on these two- I also appreciate the diversity of your tank!

Thank you Susan.
