New (better) 100mm Macro shots

[GuOD]

Took some of these just now when I discovered an animal. Unfortunately it disappeared before I could take pictures. It seemed like a giant snail but without a shell.

On with the images!

Purple Finger Leather

H. Crispa

Bleached Purple Monti

Purple Haze Monti Danae

Tuxedo Urchin

(yellow or green) Finger leather (not sure... it's pretty pale in color, pale green glow under actinic)

Sand Polyps

Hairy Mushrooms

Blue/Orange Ricordea

Moon Coral

Added names before the pictures.

All shots were handheld with flow still on. One day I'll get my tripod out and do some shots with flow off @ ISO 100.

Those pics are very cool.

Do you have a tripod you could work with? That would eliminate some of the blur caused by camera shake. It would also let you increase the aperture for greater DOF .

Yep. Got a Gitzo but don't have my ballhead yet. A lot of movement was from the flow still being on.

Unfortunately the area around my tank is cluttered and I can't use the tripod w/ my macro lens. I can only use it with the 300mm but the pics aren't as close.
