Two Posts of Coral Photos

I've been doing corals for 5 months so far. I was bored with fish. I'm having a blast. Here are two sets of photos (this post and the following.)

Elegance Coral



Colt Coral (2nd generation cutting)

scubadude: I have 2 X 65W PC 8800K bulbs and 2 X 55W PC 03 actinics. When I've taken the Colt out to frag it, it looks pink even under the desk light (Philips Soft White, 100W )

chromis: I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know what species the Elegance is. I just went by what my LFS owner told me.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Rick, those would be zoanthids. Looks like you are doing pretty good already.

Reinhold,
Those are great looking corals. The pics are amazingly clear. What camera are you using. Tripod?

Since colts are being posted here's a pic of mine:

Tcook:

Beautiful corals and beautiful picture!

I shot mine with a Nikon CoolPix 990 and a monopod. My tank lighting is only PC lighting, so the exposures are somewhat long. I shot them on full auto with no manual adejustments for white balance, etc.

I wish my sand was as clean as yours. I've got alot of Red Slime in the sand. I'm thinking about buying a Queen Conch to eat it all.
