Looks like them but the color looks a little off or over saturated?

Just agood macro shot. They can be that bright! In my tank still very nice, I dont have as much actinic but they are very sweet. Plus Jr is one hell of a camera guy!
Heres a flash shot of my rainbows. (Raptors)

And one you can see a little better at the top right.

Also vivids are not the same as mine. IMO They are close but diff.

 

[650-IS350]

Never the less they look real good.

ksanmamaril, I just saw what you wrote, lol. I know right? Me too. :eek1:

Okay....it's no longer April Fool's Day (for some people.)
So shall we have some more photos of these tiny galaxy palys?
More camera photos? Phone pics?
All actinic shots, no actinic shots, colonies, single polyps.
More macro shots? Further away shots?
Old pics, new pics... or just plain more pics.
Can you tell i'm hooked on the tiny space faces of these?

Also please, any husbandry hints or tips from anyone regarding growing these palys would be appreciated.
Feeding?
Is there a difference in lighting perhaps with regard to keeping these or is that just a noob (me) assuming stuff.


Thanks all.

[flyyyguy]

not all of these are "sparkly"....but all have your little tiny universes in them Lily

same under flash

 

[FiShTaCo]

Flyyy you have the best photos. I know this probably isn't the first time anyone has asked this,so please excuse me, =) but what type of camera & lens are you using?

 

[flyyyguy]

Fish taco. thank you for the kind words.

I have a older d-100 and a d-80. most pics are with a tamron 90 mm. lens. I upgraded to the d-80 last fall. I did it thinking I didnt want to buy a new macro lens, and the increase in pixels would help as that is the only real upgrade the d80 gave me. It might be that I dont know how to use it, but I honestly cant tell the difference between the two cameras. I should have saved my money and saved up for the new canon and new macro lens I really want. lol

if you look really close lots of polyps have "sparkles" in them.

interesting thing about these, is I believe the same polyp was posted on the first page of this thread with much, much more pronounced sparkles. These polyps have morphed all over the place for me, I hope they will at some point get those sparkles I saw

 

[FiShTaCo]

Thanks for the response Flyyy! Good stuff to know.....keep those pictures comin hehe =)

 

[ellinas]

wow I thought I had some pretty zoas...boy was I wrong!

 

[DML08]

Junior, do you ever frag any of these? They are just about the most beautiful things I have ever seen! Let me know if any of them are ever available. I'm just getting started but I've found that I'm a zoa and paly addict...

P.S. - Does the MC stand for Marine Corps? I have a Marine son who just shipped to Iraq last week.
