What I've learned is that it's a combination of everything. Overhead lighting, position in the tank, waterflow, clean glass, tripod, Fstop, type of lens, background, compostition and time, lots of time......I've actually been putting off taking the next round of photos as it's usually an all day affair, I have to stage the corals so that the background is neutral, wait for the zoa to openback up, then move onto the next one etc....

I had to move the staging area inside the tank to a lower depth because the MH would wash out the zoa's

I'll be working on a few zoa's today and hopefully capture another great photo....If I get a good one, might even swap out my avatar
