All kinds of good pictures in that collection, Nick. Thanks for sharing.
What do you think this might be? Some kind of zoanthid colony that is closed up?
Might this be some type of Tubastrea?
I really like this combination of the basket starfish in the sponge. The picture of the puffer in a another sponge was really cute, but then again I love puffers.
And this picture is one my favorites from your trip. What is the coral? The tentacles remind me of a Heliofungia, but perhaps it is simply an anemone.

That had to be a killer dive. The shots you took are excellent with great detail. Thanks for sharing.

I have no clue on the first one. The color was amazing though, I really don't think it was zoanthids though.
The second one is an anemone. There were quite a few around. One was very deep but bright purple. I got one blurry picture of it, then one in focus but where another diver had kicked up the sandbed.....
Dives were pretty good
Got one on the Atlantic side of the bay area and it was so dense with life it was tough to spot rock underneath.The pictures are from a protected bay area seeing more divers.
The shots were a first for me shooting underwater.
The first couple of days went by trying to work out how best to set the white balance while either using or not using flash. I have a lot of very blue or very red pictures I can't post
But for an old (borrowed from tangdiver) 3MP camera I think it did very well. Some of the close-ups actually turned out pretty damn nice. Any shortcoming I contribute to lack of experience on my part
Awwww
No, I agree The pics are great. Never knew the camera could do it.
Shows it is not the camera but the person who knows how to run it.
But great pics for a 3.2 and older and older housing, and heating up underwater which fogs the housing after a short time.
He he he he
Keep it coming now pics at the river....the big muddy, the Missouri...
Hahahahahahaha

If you visit my little red house you will find among other things these pictures showing the progress of the display tank over the last two years.
The tank is currently doing very well.
The refugium was taken down for some remodeling and the end result is an additional 75 gallon tank. (Pictures to come).
The plan is two refugiums. One with algae just like before and one with live rock to boots micro fauna/flora diversity in the entire setup.
