I added some new coral last night... so now I have like 10 frags, can't wait to get some full sized coral =P  Ok so maybe my tongue is full-sized, not sure how big they get but he won't open up so not sure.

First up is my favorite!  Pink Zoos!  I need to play around with the lighting a bit, in this picture they look white but they really are a very pretty pink.



Then I found this tinsy sun coral... not sure it'll make it, it has a lot of slime around the base of it's orange.



Then there's my foxface.. this is the least brave fish I've ever seen!  I do notice that scared or not she comes out to eat Thumbs%20Up  Only pellets and flake though, she hasn't touched the nori, algae sheets or spinache I put in there.

I'm not at home on my computer so I can't tell if you used flash. I looks like it though. You can dial down the exposure compensation and you can put layers of tissue over the flash so it is not so bright and doesn't wash out the colors so much.

No flash there, the MHs were on though, I'm thinking I need some more acnitic lighting to "POP" the colors better.

I found that if you turn the exposure setting down (at least on my point and shoot camera), you can get a better representation of color from you coral pics. It takes out a lot of the glare from the lights.
