The pictures look great. If you meant them dark, then well done! I struggle with lighting in a lot of my pictures, I need to figure out how to play around with it, but you're off to a great start!

great shots of some VERY nice corals. Thanks for sharing them. Everything looks great.

What is the coral in the first pic in the third set? I received a frag of a coral very similar and the person who I got it from called it a "green monster". It's by far the brightest green coral in my tank. I have no clue what it is, though.

Who did you get that green monster from :lol:. I know that name and i know the person who name it green monster. If you put that corals closer to the light it will have purple-ish tip. If you have lots of flow in the tank the coral will grow thicker... It is the A. Humulis. Here is my old piece which is the same with the one in the above picture

I got it in a trade from stryker. That is the same coral? Wow, they look very different from one another.

Here is my frag:

Doesn't really look like a humulis to me, but it's still small so we'll see.

:lol: Terry got that coral from me. Better yet from the same coral... When you give it more light, more flow it look different.

As for camera, i am using Nikon D90 and Nikon 105mm f2.8 Ai-S micro lens. It will not AF. but take great picture. I bought the lens from ebay for $275 :D

nice pics.

if I had to critique them, I'd say majority of them are too dark are out of focus. but for first try, it's not bad.

if you want in depth critiques and advice, post it in the photography section. I'm sure they won't mind giving you their opinion.

Sweet, thanks for the info! It's defnitely one of my favorite frags right now, the thing just glows and it seems to be super hardy!
