I got a picture of my Kole (yellow eyed) tang. http://www.physics.sfsu.edu/~mbolling/fish/kole.jpg
let me know if its sufficient quality and I'll email it to you, the glass is a little dirty making it look like the fish has a disease though

[melev]

sfsuphysics, could you clean the glass and try again? I'd prefer to get the best shot of the subject if at all possible.

[sfsuphysics]

Heheh I'll give it a shot, but no promises, that was THE SINGLE first time I've seen the tang out when I was anywhere near the glass.

[melev]

The more often you hang out by the glass with your camera, the better it will be. I bought an Anthias roughly two weeks ago, and tonight it actually swam right through my shot of some zoanthids.

On the other hand, I was at another club member's place today, and I couldn't get a shot of his baby Six Line Wrasse no matter how hard I tried.

Best time to shoot pics of a six line is when you feed I will try to get some of mine tonight if you want. I really love your idea Marc. It is a great reference for anybody.

[melev]

Hi Rich,

I have a six line on my page. If you see something missing that you have, lemme know.

I was just explaining to sfs. that I know how hard it can be to get a decent shot of a fish.

Awesome tank! How many gallons?

[melev]

If you are referring to me, Percula3, I have a 29g and a 55g - both are reef tanks.

thanks for the site!

[dgphelps]

Love your site. I am working on one of my one with the critters I have in my tank. I will post a link when I am done and you are more than welcome to anything you might need or like. I have been chasing a 13 inch bristle worm for a good shot for a few weeks now. He is huge and I am bound to get one with at least 1/3 of him out.

Very informative site , I was actually wondering what that 'spaghetti' worm in my tank was.

[nemolover]

Nice pics- very good idea for begginers I wish I found something like this when I was a begginner.

[melev]

nemolover,

[welcome]

I'm glad you found it interesting. Did you know all of the critters or were there any that were new to you?

[nemolover]

Thanks melv-

I've been trying to learn as much as possible in these couple of years.The only one I have not heard of was the sacoglossa. Very interesting.
The reason I like your web site is because alot of times begginners look to the lfs for advice and get the wrong info. Not all the time but sometimes. My first set up was aggressive fish and they told me just about anything to get be to buy things. I learned the hard way after my fish out grew my 55 and a couple learning experiences. I decided to go reef now I have the beggining of a small reef. And found a great lfs. That helps alot.
