Very nice shullat Was clam photographed off the coast of Saudi Arabia? Are there nice reefs there?

[Jaffa]

Crikey double post.

[shullat]

Jaffa, reefs down in the red sea are amazing. Been diving around the area for the past nine years... pity can't find zoanthids though, pretty ****ed about that. Great thing about Saudi Arabia is that the majority of the coast is still untouched.

[Jaffa]

Sounds awesome. Is there anything good in the Persian Gulf?

Have no idea never been diving there... planning on taking a trip down to the maldives around christmas time. That promises for some excellent encounters and a couple of nice shots.

In the meantime another dive shot, I liked the contrast between the different fish.

Marc - I love the coral 'nipples'.

This thread is really cool, makes me want to buy a new camera, maybe thats what this month's bonus will do, I can get a nice Canon EOS 20D for a heck of a deal.

:lol:
Listen I've been here for ever it seems and there is nothing that bad going on. Sure sometimes you get nasty comments and a little violence from the locals but rarely, overall it's not that bad. And being told your a sinner by the religious police is always entertaining.

And the scenery is beautiful as you can see, not!

Hi all,

I thought you might find this interesting, I spotted this with a Mesoscope in a lfs and returned the next day to take some photos. Do you think that these hydroids would stop an Acro from opening fully as the polyps in the immediate vicinity are closed?

Barry.

[melev]

Barry, are you talking about the Digitate Hydroid? I've never seen a problem with them, but Dr Ron seems to believe they can cause trouble.

Barry.

Can you explain a mesoscope? I'm hearing about them more and more (too lazy to do a google search right now (should be working!)) I returnd most of my sps, my tank isn't ready. One of the few I have left is totally infested with these, and I really think they were there when I bought it. It is expensive, you think they'd take it back based on that?

http://melevsreef.com/id/digitate_hydroid.html

melev, I'm not sure of the hydroid ID. The one in the picture is approximately 1/8" long. There where several on the Acro tip pictured with one directly above the closed polyp which doesn't show in this image.

The Mesoscope is basically a microscope that temporarily fastens to the outside of the tank, allowing non-invasive observation of the life within a reef system. If you search this forum you will find several references to the Mesoscope or click on my red house to visit our website.

Barry.

[melev]

I'm pretty sure we are talking about the same creature Barry. Dr Ron has some information about Digitate hydroids on his site. I didn't see the first tinier one, but the other one is pretty much an exact match. They can get quite a bit longer, typically at night when the lights are out.

I wonder if there is a symbiotic relationship between the Acro & Hydroids/Hydrozoan Polyps as they appeared to living within the coral/polyp. Could the coral be using the hydroids as a defence mechanism?

[melev]

You really should ask Ron. :)

Hi DEQbob,

No Macro, just a camera adapter direct to the Mesoscope.

Barry.

[BeakerBob]

Barry, I was just reading about the Mesoscope. Does it have the ability to adjust the aperture to control depth-of-field? Or can you use the camera's aperature control?

[Barry]

Originally posted by DEQbob

DEQbob, The Mesoscope comes with a mechanical aperture that is interchangeable between both optical systems, or can be removed for very low light levels. The optical design has been developed to provide maximum depth of field. What type of camera do you have?

[BeakerBob]

Barry, have an Olympus Camedia and a Nikon D70.

[Barry]

DEQbob, How do you find the depth of field of these cameras/lenses.

[BeakerBob]

Barry, I use a 90 macro lens on the Nikon in manual mode to stop down to f/22. You can use the newer autofocus lenses and go aperture priority or in the close-up programmed mode to get greater depth-of-field (it increases the aperture and slows down the shutter speed).

DEQbob, what do you to observe the life within your system.

[BeakerBob]

Barry, not sure what you mean by "DEQbob, what do you to observe the life within your system.".

I use the macro lens on the camera for macro closeups (amazing what you can see whent he pics are blown up on the computer screen), a linen tester for just looking around at the general lifeforms near the front of the tank, a stereo microscope and an oil immersion microscope for really, really small objects.

[Barry]

DEQbob, You'd be surprised at what you can see with a Mesoscope.

You know that is a close up when you can't even tell what the object is. Talk about skill! ;)

[hammerhead]

Looks like you got stung by a bristle worm.

[mymazda6]

sweet tank..looks like a bristle worm to me

[melev]

It is, and I've had that happen before. Duct tape was my remedy. ;)

[BeakerBob]

Yup, it was a large bristleworm. I was moving a rock around and picked up one. I could feel a stinging sensation, but a lot of rocks have tiny calciferous growths under them so I thought that was the problem. When it continued, I turned the rock over and saw that I had trapped a bristleworm between the rock and my finger. I had the camera there so I took a picture for posting.

I didn't think of duct tape, but I scraped it off with a sharp knife blade. Finger is still sensitive and the skin on the tip tip blistered off.

[Cprowler]

Here is my latest, not as good as most but I'm getting better.:)

too cool Debi! Very nice ones you do of your critters!

Do you all turn off pumps when you shoot? Our tank has chronic debris problem, so I have to turn off all pumps for a while before it clears up enough to shoot. Any of you have the same problem?

Very excellent pics you guys are doing!

Dude, that is one awesome shot... :D A whole lot of mysids slaughtered, :p

[gregr]

a friend of mine has some and said that once it got to about 3" it exploded with growth. sadly, then it and a lot of other corals died because of too much rowaphos :(
nobody said this hobby was easy...
hey if your Tort gets too big i'd be more than happy to take some of the load off your tank :)

thanks!

actually they're brine- little brine shrimp slaughter fest :p

Are you coming to MACNA this year? If you are, I can snap a branch and bring it over to the conference. ;)

Brine eh? How silly of me not to recognize them.... BTW, when I kept Tubastaraea I always fed them mysid shrimp( that's why I just figured you'd the same.... :D ), more meal for the money....

gonna have to be next year- i can't make it this year :(

[melev]

Just bring a branch for me Gene. Heck, bring a branch of EVERYTHING in your tank, and I'll do my best to repopulate my reef. Long story short, not much SPS in my system now, but the water quality is getting closer and closer to what it is supposed to be.

No, the LFS I shop at had babies and called me up excitedly to find out more. If you want to see all my images of the seahorses, they are in this directory. I know it isn't as nice to click and view one at a time, but they were posted on the DFWMAS forum only.

If your talking about my picture that is how they look under my T5 lights. I had to take it in raw mode and adjust it to get it to look the same, everything else came out too blue. They are purple with yellow/green skirts-or whatever they are called.

[melev]

They are gorgeous, that is for sure. Way way nicer than Bradley's aiptasia.

[xtra-salty]

Ahhhh, i see what you mean now. On my laptop the pictures look perfect but from my desktop they look more blue than purple...alot more blue. I will have to post a corrected picture and look into why my color settings are wacky on my laptop.:confused:

[melev]

I think they are stunning, and they look very purple to me. Are those Purple People Eaters? Do they have green mouths?

Great, there's some hope for me yet :) !!! I have the 7600, but I really have nothing much in the tank, coral wise that is, to photograph in detail like that... Although there are coral frags in the mail as I type :D ... I can't wait to get some great shots such as this one...

Nice! :D Aren't they great characters though? Mine likes to sleep under my T.squamosa clam... and when tang comes calling sometimes it looks like it catches that wrasse by surprize... :lol:
