Once in a while, a new, unorthodox idea pops up in the hobby. Sometimes, that idea materializes into a product that raises eyebrows, and can potentially revolutionize the market. I remember things like that toilet-paper looking filter from D-D that never really caught... by Admin | Jun 21, 2016 | Eye Candy, Fish, Photography
This is my second post about Zebrasoma desjardinii, a fish that is quite a stunner in captivity, but is even more impressive in the wild, where it can demonstrate its natural behavior; in this case, coming together into a large... by Todd Gardner | May 25, 2016 | Aquaculture, Conservation, Eye Candy, Fish
For more than six years, we have been taunted with images of the holy grail of reef basslets, Gramma dejongi, as it made appearances around the world.

Some stunning chalice corals This past weekend we were at Reef-A-Palooza Orlando and decided to drop in to see Lou, Vic and the team at World Wide Corals.  While I was looking at all of the beautiful displays and the World Wide Coral Farm I bumped into Frank Lim from Real Reef Rock.  These are a few shots that Frank and I took with our phones using a yellow filter to counteract the 20K lighting.  It’s pretty amazing how far along our camera phones have come.  If you’re ever in the Orlando area, I highly recommend stopping by their shop.  Plan to stay a while!
