[Bigred]

Here's a few from my tank.

Steve, any idea what the name is for the fourth picture you posted?

 

[Bigred]

It's the ORA Marshall Island. It's a pretty common piece around here but they usually come in brown with green polyps. When ever the LFS orders from ORA they get about 3-5 of these.

Take a look at the first picture of this thread. That is a Tyree LE something, but it is similar to your ORA.

Hi Marc,

Nope, no Mesoscope. Those shots were taken with the old Sigma's 105mm macro lens. It's not that bad of a lens but requires lots of post processing, like noise reduction and all that nonsence.

Johns,

Love coloration on your colonies, great job!

Johns, I know this is about SPS and that is what you posted, but look at the Maxima, the Green Hammer and the orange plate! WOW!

Sorry, I guess next time I'll find a way to black-out those sections of the photos.

It's an Acropora sp. Unfortunately it turned all blue on me after I redid my tank completly. I got this frag from a fellow reefkeeper here on RC (Mantis), it turned this pretty purple for a spell and now it is all blue....

Beautiful pics everyone...love all the colors. They may not sway, but they sure can stay in my tank.

Here's a few older pix taken with a Nikon coolpix 4500

 

[Eve]

Better late than never I didn't take the pics so I don't have info on the camera used.
