Hello! I am still a newb myself but I did just recently read an article on flatworms in Reef Invertrebrates by Abthony Calfo & Robert Fenner. One kind of flatworm is called Acoel. There are two very good photos of it and they look identical to what you have as well as matching your...

Cool, nothing to freak about then. Thanks for the replies :-)

I have several of these in my tank. Sorry about the blurry pic but it gives you an idea.

An ISO of 400 should still present a good quality photo so leave it maxed. If you are looking for a shot to show off a fish then leave the F stop value as high as you can while still keeping the exposure value close to zero with the shutter speed around 250. If the fish is darting to and fro...

If your ISO is already maxed you can increase the light getting to the sensor by increasing the aperature. A lower numbered F stop equals a larger aperature. This will allow you to increase the shutter speed while still keeping the exposure value near 0. The draw back to using aperature to...

What you need to get your fish in focus is good lighting. The lighting in your tank may look bright to you but it's a bit on the dim side to your camera. To compensate the camera lengthens the exposure time. When the shutter speed begins to to exceed 1/200 of a sec moving obejets begin to...

LOL! You are too much Thrillya! I'll be lucky to get a free can of soda out of it.

Not sure if you would call this a brain or maze coral. This one is down at my lfs.

Hello! I purchased an Octocoral of the Alcyoniidae (leather coral) family but I am unsure which species it is. I would guess either Sinulara or Alcyonium. I know it's very hard to make a determination from a photo but I will include one and describe it as best I can. It's hard to see in the...

I am an amatuer in every sense of the word but it strikes me that it could possibly belong to the Genus Leptoria or the Genus Favia. Both have species with similar traits.

Here is a pic of a sinularia. I am unsure which species.

First off nice photos! Secondly your tank looks amazing even more so considering you have only had it running for 6 months. If you are interested in telling me, I would be interested to hear a few details about it. Did you transfer established liverock from another tank when you set it up? What...

Sorry Thrillya missed your question about the camera. I used a Sony DSC-R1 with a VCL-M3367 macro lense.

Thanks everyone. You are right JustPhish it is a Pentacta anceps. I feed it 5ml of phytoplankton twice daily. I've had it for 3 months now. Very unique creature!

Here is a pic of my sea cucumber.
