I’m not gonna go technical in this post, because there is a great write-up from someone who gave me a few key pointers and answered tons of questions on this topic. If you haven’t had a chance, do read Sanjay Joshi’s article Photographing Fluorescence in Aquarium Corals in the Winter 2010 issue of Reefs Magazine. Great read and even better photos.

Photographing fluorescence is not easy: there is a learning curve and some editing, but the results are out of this world. Here are some images that I’ve managed to take:

Zoanthid species

Blastomussa wellsi
