I got some new corals not to long ago and wanted to share them so tell me what you think. I bought them online from a aquaholics, I was very pleased and he is the best customer service i have ever experienced and I am enjoying watching them color up big time. Please excuse the pictures because they do none of the corals justice.

I ment to say what are the 'names" of those corals so I can compare them to their website.

i see well the 2nd one is the minty fresh which hasnt done well then neptune, constilation, super prostrata, dragon skin, chronic and limeade, but they are still coloring up big time every day so it wouldnt be a fair comparison

do you have a tripod and a macro setting on that camera?

i think there frags nice but its soo out of focus, try not zooming in and increasing the size of the picture the camera take then crop them to make then small enough to post..

some of that algae looks very much like Dinoflagellates

stack books on a chair in front of the tank and use the delay timer, with the macro setting on and dont zoom all the way in, most low end cameras cant focus close in shots when over zoomed

At his school, they don't have books, all the school gives out is jerseys for every single person in the city to wear, and a brochure on how to talk a big game and then lose to SEC teams.
Nice pics also.
