YOU have been ignored!
This pic came out pretty good with my point and shoot so I thought I'd share. I am really starting to like my oranges almost better than my blues. Also these red zoa's are looking nicel!

Thanks! I think my fiancee really likes the zoanthids the best. She's always saying "those are pretty flowers" then I reply "they're zooanthids!!!"
 
Hey thanks everybody! I'm hoping to let them spread all over the substrate like carpet. I think that would look pretty cool. Probably take 2 or 3 years I'm guessing LOL

WoW! I have now decided that my new tank will have lots of zoos. I have never seen any like that at any LFS around where i live. If there was I overlooked them.

Unfortunetly you probably didn't overlook them. Every LFS near me has poopy brown looking zoa's lol. I get all my zoa's online if I want colored ones.

Those are 2 nice pics you have there. Not bad. I feel you on that Zoas-Carpet idea. I'm planning my 10's to have Zoas-Carpets.

:D

My question is, what point & shoot camera are you using? I'm shopping for a Canon S3 IS because it lands in the price range that I can afford.

Are you using any kind of lens on the camera? Or is it the regular Macro from the camera?

My other question is what size, lighting and filtration do you have on the tank. Anything special that you use to keep those Zoas handsome like that?

Hey deeplove,

Thanks for the compliments. Hmm lets see. I got my camera a couple years ago. Its a 5megapixel Olympus. No filters or anything, no photoshop, nothing. Sometimes I will tell you it takes a few shots to get one good one though. I don't have a tripod or anything.
I've got a 90 gallon acrylic tank and 2 tunze 6100's on a controller. A Euroreef skimmer I think cs-80 maybe I don't know. I have a Giesemann Eco fixture with 14K 250W hqi pheonix bulbs. I really think the key to good colors be it sps or zoo's is feeding. i've played around a little bit with amounts and diff foods and I seem to do ok with a mixture of flakes and cyclopeez. Originally my alien eyes for example where VERY pale to the point you really couldn't tell what they were. Since I've gradually increased feedings the colors have dramatically improved I think.

Thanks for the compliments everybody!
Chris
