Red Sea Pumping Xenia
Here is a macro shot of one of my Xenia colonies I thought was interesting.
Regards, Kevin

How's that for an "old" Mavica
I don't know why you want to buy a nikon camera when you can take macros like that.Great picture Kevin PS.Kevin,do you mind if I email you a pic of an algae that I have.Rocky here planted a seed in my mind that it could be a Dictyota and I have nightmares already Rocky,if you read this,I hope you're wrong about this

Gene,
That type of algae is not too bad. It's a slow to medium grower. It grips the rockwork kind of hard though. I have never seen any type of fish eat it with any vigor. The best control is hand picking IME (which I need to get doing ).Regards, Kevin

Very true Kevin,none of my herbivores touch this stuff.I guess they have to be starving to graze it,wich in my case is never to happen
I hoped my rabbitfish would take a liking to it but no luck. While lights are out I have a good chance to prune it without getting "love" bites from the Clarkii
