Picture Thread of the Week - Softies!

Olipug,

Shut down your pumps prior to shooting and you won't have all of that 'marine snow' floating around in your photo's.

Here is probably my favorite softie.

It is real, and only PS'd for white balance.My Fuji S3000 can't handle blue well in tanks, and I usually use flash. This was no flash and came out quite trueto life. To my eyes this is how that coral looks. No name for it. It is yet unidentified. I think it is known as mystery coral #31. Go figure. It is in "A Quick reference guide" by Julian sprung (page 149). It is awesome. Fast spreader. Very hardy. Unbelievable color combo. Everyone of my friends wants it. I have so far hogged it all to myself :) but as it goes so fast I will probably frag it here and there. I recently changed out the carbon and started using purigen. My water got so clear it smoked my shrooms. Almost a 60% loss there. However, this stuff gets better and better. I swear it put out 40 polyps in the last three weeks since doing that and the eyes have gotten ten times brighter, while the lobes of the polyp are getting more feathery in appearance. Very dramatic change, and I have had it for 2.5 months.
