Skipper,
I did it kinda makeshift way I guess. My Sony Mativa has a movie setting which I dont have the software for. That mode takes nine pictures on one frame. I used Photoshop to open the shot and cut it up into the nine pieces. I saved them in gif format which looses some definiton so I scaled them with Graphic Converter to 50%. That compensates for the lost colors somewhat. I used gifbuilder to make the movie or actually animated gif. kinda a roundabout way but it works, LOL And it loads without a plugin too. Gifbuilder is the main program that allows the process. I think its freeware. I may be able to find the link to it if you want it. Let me know.

oceanreef,
The xenia is near the bottom of my tank, but they do best where they get strong light. The real secret to xenia growth is iodine addition, but be careful about adding too much. My tank is a little different from the way it shows at my site now but I think the xenia is in the same place. Check out my site for a really great still shot of the xenia

and Skipper,
I think the clown swimming is pretty neat as well!!
