I didn't even catch that !!! I would drop some peroxide on it and let it fizzle around for a few then rinse it kff in some tank water.

They all look great! I would remove that bubble algae in the first picture right away. 

Thanks! I did it. Though Dave the Emerald Crab has filed a grievance to his union saying I'm infringing on his employment contact, and is now threatening a walkout.

Dibs on white zombie babies. 

When the colony is a bit bigger, the first couple frags have your name on it!

Since Tuesday is the worst day of the week here are some photos... Hopefully, they are about to get better as a new toy is currently in the mail. 

 

 

White Zombie of the previous post cropped in:

The weed of SPS, if you want to dip your toes into the cold dark world of sticks... start here... it's the gateway drug of coral.

So this arrived  yesterday...

Still stumbling around and trying to figure it out, but here are few quick shots:


Newest cyphastrea (Not the most hyped coral, but when this spreads out over the back wall, I think is going to be an insane backdrop):

In the words of Charles Barkley, I’m still turrrible at fish pics:

I’m SO green with envy. I’m not sure what to do now- spend money on a goni/alveopora and new elegance or a new lens 😫

If you must do some retail therapy, go with a new lens. Stop buying corals. Let all the new ones you got settled in a bit.

Looking around. May wait for the new camera body and Christmas. I spent a lot on the lens I have currently so need to get some use out of it.

@Dirté Sanchez for this photo... thingy... or whatever... we might as well start dragging some other people into it... specifically,  I’m looking at @mitten_reef @pokerdobe @WV Reefer @Tigahboyand anyone else they want to nominate...(Besides the photo pros like @TheKleinReef...jk) for a contest without predefined rules or an endgame or really a not a contest at all... any better get on that picture horse because here are some subpar outtakes!

 

 

An orange coral of some sort (euphyllia, maybe):

LPS polyps, maybe?

Coolest torch coral you’ve ever seen?

@Dirté Sanchez got saucy and challenged everyone to a photo contest, where the winner is the person who is able to eat 8 hotdogs in 5 minutes. 

I got this one in the bag, 8 hot dogs (no bun), pzzz easy.

Those names don’t sound right.  But whatever you’re on, keep at it. 🤣

Occasionally I’m able to get a shot that clear and close. I’m not consistent though and with more reading I find that my lens, though expensive, isn’t a true macro lens. But that’s what you get for not being a camera pro. 
 

Good shots! Those rainbow acans are stunning with that lens! I can’t submit anything for a bit since I’m helping battle the Rona tomorrow.

I’m chunky and I like hotdogs but I can’t anywhere near 8 of them down in even 30 minutes. Or probably ever. I’d end up like that kid on Stand By Me at the contest.
