Love the photo of the Yellow Goby, very sharp and focused pics! I'll defiantly look for updates.

Thanks to all! It's great to read such comments for my own photos. :spin1:

Very nice. How big is your tank?

It is 250 liters display + 150 sump, it makes something like 66 gallons display + 40 sump.

How do you get a critter to sit still long enough to get 10 different focal planes?

As i said it was just my luck. They do it from time to time, you just have to catch the exact moment. My DSLR is always next to the tank with the macro lens on it. When i see something, i run fast.

yeah I was thinking the same. Mine don't sit still for 1 shot let alone multiple. Do you feed them something with tranquilisers in it

Now that sounds interesting, I will think about it.

Thanks to all of you.

That's cannabis.

If you have emot for "tranquilisers", i would be happy to see it.

Yet another great image.
I like how how the little tube worm is in the focal plane.
Well done.

Can anyone tell me what crab is this? It came as hitchhiker, but i was not able to identify him?

 

[Recty]

I would need a better view of it's pinchers, those definitely help identify.

For what it's worth, they look rounded/blunt on the end of the part I can see, which is a good sign as those type are usually more of a scavenger than a killer, although all crabs can turn deadly if the circumstances are right.

Beautiful shots!

 

[Pink Coralline]

Beautiful shots! What kind of camera are you using if I may ask?

 

[thepenalty]

Recty, i will try to catch the claws when i have better luck. I was expecting the red eyes will reveal him.

Pink Coralline, my camera is 8 MPix DSLR as i said on the previous page.

Thanks all!
