Great shots! Those blue zoos are really pretty. The cesp is looking a little miffed at being held :) .

[mikekman]

Thanks! The quality of the shots aren't as good as some I have taken before. I think its because I had the blinds open too so too much light was in the room.

I'll try and take some clearer pictures.

The cesp didn't like being held because it probably knew it was gonna have a piece of it fragged with a razor blade. Its still stressed from a few days ago when I had fragged it. The 1st frag is doing really well and growing pretty fast. This new frag is too new to tell so in a few days, I will be able to tell.

I'm probably not going to frag the cesp again for a while because of the stress on the coral. The mother colony hasn't really been opening up fully like before when I took some of those nice macro shots of its glitters/sparkles.

More pics took around 5pm.

Where can I get some of those blue zoos? They rock. I will be posting pics of my tank later today. Thanks for your advice Mike.

[mikekman]

I'm the source for the blue zoos :D :D

Once they grow onto pieces of rubble that I have placed near them, I will frag them and let other people in Chico enjoy them.

[missyshrout]

So how much are these beautiful little specimens going to cost me???:( :D :eek: :eek2:

Love your pics but boy are they HUGE. Even with high speed they take forever, but worth every minute.

I WILL have my tank pics posted by the end of the day.

Looking forward to any comments or criticisms:mad2:

[mikekman]

The pictures take a long time to load but they are very detailed :D If you have dsl, it shouldn't take that long.

What do you think of the dendros and the blue xenia (cespitularia)?

Start a new thread and lets see your tank.
