This one doesn't do it much justice, but here is the picture from the guy I got it from (picture was taken about 3 weeks ago - has colored up more since this picture):

I haven't taken any myself yet top-down, as I haven't perfected this method yet. Some day soon!

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Cycloseris spp?

Cycloseris spp?

Very interesting. It looks like a common orange type Fungiid with rainbow highlights. I wonder what RandyO has to say about these.........

 

[sf_ramsden]

Gary, this is my first plate so I have no clue on the species... RandyO can hopefully chime in and let us know...

Here is an updated shot I took a few minutes ago now that it has puffed up (May help with species identification):

And here is a top down I took of it with my point and shoot camera right when I took it out of the bag:

Hopefully it keeps the rainbow highlights, but only time will tell...

Enjoy!!

My most recent shots are being taken with a nikon D90 and a Tamron 90mm macro lens. Taken in RAW format and edited using Aperture (Apple)

Wow completely forgot about this thread! But I too have a Nikon D90. Im more into taking pictures of cars and nature just because i dont have the right lens to take close details of corals, like i would like to and get mad... here are some shoots ive taken.

I would say Wow!

Looks like a Cycloseris. Been seeing some amazing colored Fungids in the last year or so.
