rainbow zoas

Wow those pics are crazy good. And that monti with half dark purple and half bright purple polyps is insane!

thanks, the monti is actually half dark red half electric blue...here is a very dark exposer pic to kinda see the electric blue, this pic is not altered in anyway..this is how it took out of my cam and is how bright the blue actually is

Man thats amazing, where did you acquire it? I've never heard of such a thing. I am staking my claim right now and calling dibs on the first frag of it, no matter how small!

actually a local reefer, not to sure where he got it from. but for sure you will be first on the list for a frag

Awesome, I think it should be called "Split Personality" or maybe "Schizophrenic" lol

haha that is crazy.. yea im not sure what it should be called...what weird is the mother colony i got it from is all red ith a slight green base...mine is the exact opposite. some people were saying the mother colony was Tyree LE mystic sunset montipora...here is a pic of that but I dont know.

hey are some newer macros i shot..

bonsai

Is that a Garf Bonsai on the last pic? What fish and inverts do you currently have in the tank?

BTW, awesome pics once again.

I dont think its a Garf...at least the hobbist i received it from didnt state that it was. my fish and inverts are
1 False Clown
1Royal Gramma
1Sixline wrasse
1 Pinkbared Goby

1 cleaner shrimp

i had a white urchin but gave it away because it kept picking up frags
and i had a sexy shrimp but it kept eating my zoa skirts

newest edition...super red yuma

Wow, those shots are amazing. What lighting do you have on your tank?

Some new pieces I just got.

Pink Lemonade



Purple Monster

Oh I like that Pink Lemonade. Got a Full Tank Shot? What type of lighting is it?

Thanks, no current FTS, will get one up soon but kinda horrible at taking them. The light is the 250w sunpod

What are your camera specs please? Some of the nicest macro shots I have seen. are you shooting through glass, or through a submersible photo box maybe?

the corals look amazing

Thanks for the comment. im shoting through glass, i will have to look up the specs i was using.


Thanks got some new pics i will be posting today

Picked up the setosa through a trade, unknown deepwater acro, and a Blotchy Anthias at Premium Aquatics

Setosa


Deepwater Acro


Blotchy Anthias

More amazing photos! If you ever frag out that 50/50 Monti shoot me a pm. Great corals!...now get growing and frag us some!

Hey Southstar - the tank is looking great! I'm glad to see you finally started a thread so I can tag along. I have to say that you have posted some of the best pics I've seen so far. Keep them coming and don't forget that updated FTS!!!

I'm not a big fan of Anthias, but that one is awesome, looks like he has a spiked mohawk.

Thanks for the kind words, i will be adding FTS pics tomm. along with some other pieces that i havnt shot yet.


I am a big fan of anthias, mainly because of their pink and orange hues, but this is by fair my favorite one, and one of the only ones suitable for my size tank, plus hes "rare"

here is my dreaded FTS, im terrible at taking them. Also i have a few other shots.

Fire acan lord

That fire acan is evil looking man, nice.

#####in awesome tank man how much did you pay for the Purple Hornet.

Great Pictures! What type of lens are you using. I am in the market for a macro lens, and I assume that is what you are using on your close-ups. Thank you.
Joe

Thanks, I pick it up from a local reefer, I'm looking for some nice rainbows. Hopefully I can find some at a good price




I appreciate it, ther purple hornets came from the same local reefer as the acans, he has an amazing set-up and got everything for an amazing price




Thanks, the camera and lens I'm using is Nikon D60 with the Tamron 100mm macro. Its alot cheaper the the Nikon 100mm macro

I payed $35 a polyp for the PH

Looking good bud. PM me with who you got all the new stuff from. I wana make another trip to indy and make some trades. Also, Do you have a teal colored Monti cap? Your FTS looked like it, but its hard to tell. If so then i would make ya a trade for a frag of it.

Thanks, PM sent

any updates

I will have updates this weekend. The INDMAS frag swap is this weekend, so I should have alot of nice stuff to show

Your tank looks great, you have a ton of nice looking coral. Keep posting any new pictures.
