Incredible.

Hoping to get to Auz in a year or two for holiday. It would be so cool if I got to see something like that.

Can I come live with you?

 

[Dustin1300]

I'll do any chores needed....Just let me play in the tidepools/reef an hour a day....You pay to fill my tanks, I'll bring my own scuba gear, and I will do all housework!

Awesome pics, thanks for sharing with us.

Awesome, (hate to mimic what already been said....but that is the best way to put it).

I was wondering though, it seems like all i read about is how reefs only exist in low nutrient areas of shallow seas (i.e. not coastal regions, due to run off). Is this why the acro is all brown? Or is that a more natural coloration?

 

[Lewy]

We think that the acros are brown and generally colourless due to the very turbid (dirty water).

At our other collection spot the water is a bit clearer and the acros are more colourful. More greens and pinks.

I'll post up some pics later of some of the acros collected previously from the other spot.
