Feeding Time

Eels

Frogfish

Scorpionfish

Nassarius Snails

Ricordia

Hope this helps!

i vote shiit getting effed up!! like gnarly fish eating other stuffs. just strait up crazy stuffs

lol

How about sexual themed? Things that look phallic or vaginic (yes, I made the second word up )

Do realize that there are people under 18 on this forum
Umm maybe closed corals as an idea!

SeaSerpant

DIY anything, like evry1 post a pic of their DIY stand, auto top off, tank, light fixture, LED mod, filter mod, etc. any DIY item. let um describe what it is and see who has the best DIY object.
or a discovery DIY, Let people figure out some new DIY things. Such as modding a heater or something like that that really no one has ever done.

Exoskeletons.. My Sally Light foot just malted and it looks cool.

Upside down
Sideways
Blur or Speed or Fast

IMO it is not fair to take pics of certain animals due to the fact that not all of us keep every animal. It is only a contest if everyone has a chance. How about colors shapes things that you actually take pictures of just for the contest. I am sorry but when 1000s of dollars are going down the drain<ie tank crash or disasters> I dont usually go running for the camera. Really what are the chances of that happening in the time frame of the contest. I vote for colors Blue, Red, and so on keep it simple easy and fun.

^^ lol gangster fish. ^^


diseases?/sickness?

symbiotic relationships

hide/seek (things you have to kinda look for in the picture)

Coral recovery. Something you got that was dead/dying and has made a significant recovery would be kinda cool.

very cool thread

"flashing"

as in a flasher wrasse showing off its fins or a scooter blenny extending its eyespot

Battle Wounds

Stuff eating stuff you didn't want to get eaten

"The biggest reefing mistake I've ever made." Could be an incompatible fish/invert/coral, tank crash, or bogus purchase. I think videos would work well for this one too.

Speaking of which, how about movies? We could limit it to 1 minute or shorter. Maybe just cool tank shots, or any of the above would work as good videos. Whatever is the most entertaining wins.

Opposites attract (unlikely friends)

Wet water

Spam

death

"Coral Polyp details"

What about lfs. Display tanks. Inventory cleanliness. I know I'm proud of my lfs. And honestly its where it all starts for us. I can't explain how excited I get when I go. See all the new fish, coral, BS with staff and other people. I've seen some pretty impressive displays. Just a thought.

rainbow

symmetry

foot

polyp extension

babies/ spawning

water

things are not as they appear

these are some off the top of my head. I am not sure if some of these have been done or not...

I would like to see some old ones from back in the day come back. Sexy shrimp would be cool. Here are a few leathers,zoa garden,goby,sump,chalice,hiding,coralline. I would like to see some cut and dry titles like sexy shrimp,goby,lps,soft,sps things like that.

Or let the photo of the month winner pick the next month. You don't need all the power space dog lol

Great new suggestions! I've been focused on having all new themes, but I may start recycling some of the previous ones again.

love this idea!
i was also surprised not to see anybody say aquascaping pics. judged purely on the awesome art of aquascapes. maybe they did mention it i just didnt see. lol

Yep!! Flashing!

feading time?

claws?

fish "yawning".

Predation, Nocturnal Shots with no flash and slow shutter, Camo , Hitch hikers

High Dynamic Range! Maybe with FTS. Macro would be cool too.

grunge...

Fish eye lens Theme =)

HDR would be a terrible idea IMHO (too much photo manipulation involved) for on this site as 95% of the folks on here can’t tell a good photo from a hole in the ground.

The second issue with setting more difficult camera trickery based themes is that most people on this site don’t know how to do them nor have the proper equipment. Look at this month’s contest….10 days in and I am the only person who submitted anything and it was just an example as I will remove it before voting starts and replace it with something else.

Just set up new tank hope to get some good pics up!

Macro lens on my new phone haha

Keep 'em coming!

hitch hikers
clean up crews
feeding time

edit:
maybe we could re-use some of the old contest themes. old categories new photos

Hitchhikers, maxi-minis, zoas, under moonlight, or clean-up crews.

how about egg carriers? shrimps and crabs or something odd
feather dusters
clams
reflections would be neat (off glass or surface)
symbiosis
cleaning stations, shrimps doin their job
living backgrounds, corals growing on the back walls
coral warfare would be interesting to see
lights out, pics taken in moonlight

Filter-feeding would be really cool and colorful.
