LOVE this thread. Those daylight shots are so great. Really makes me wish people would get off the blue water kick and see how a natural reef is supposed to look. Outstanding.

Beautiful pictures. You are very lucky. I love your old tank as well. The corals were gorgeous and that little butterfly was too cute.

Thanks. It was a very nice tank. I had a problem with the acrylic hence it was taken down.

But in the end. It was a just a big pile of rocks with the corals stuck in the gaps.

Fairly extreme tides which we get every couple of months.



We get them around midnight at the beginning of the year and they swing to the daytime at the end.

Sometimes we can even get a negative tide as well.

A great start to the new year.

Largish Rubro found. Released after the pic was taken.



This is how we find torches.



Large Duncanopsammia colony (a few small frags were taken). Note that they are actually buried in the sand.

the Torch corals occur there or were placed there by the tides?

obviously, the Duncan grew in that muck!

Good for you.

And how lucky are you to be able to see all of this first-hand...

There was a drop-off at the edge of this reef. We stood there for a good 15 minutes just watching the fish swimming by.

Large schools of Mulleri's, scribbled angels, tangs and two blue spotted rays. It was magic.

Went out to another spot to have a look around. 5 minutes from the city centre (in the background).


Huge fungia.


Small octopus.


Best for last. A large carpet anemone.

LOL That's a good way of putting it.

That octopus is amazing. You have good eyes--at first glance I thought it was just a big brittle star!
