those look great Tom, I'm glad the grab bag worked out for you.
I'd like to be first in line for a frag of the blue monti when it's ready

oooo Blue polyp birdsnest is nice!!!!! Want to trade a small piece for some electric green polyp birdsnest?

Tom, I am horrible with names.. I buy corals base on color and shape, I never ask nor can remember what I have. You may have better luck posting the pics on RC's SPS forum, JB NY and few others on there is really good with their latin.

Rich, I can get you some of those if Tom is not ready to frag his, He got those from Andrew. I had some but they fell to the bottom of my prop tank.

Red polyped M. digita from Montepora (aka Andrew):

Tom, that lens is impressive.
Was that wide open at 2.8?
are you using it on manual focus?
I wish I had a digital body for my 6x7 lens, I don't like spending money on film and developing for pictures of my coral plus you have to bracket like crazy to get a good shot. your making me want to go buy the new cannon dslr and that tameron lens.

 

[jhale]

Its not as sharp as I want, though.

you missed the focal plane by a few millimeters.

 

[ctxmonitor]

you missed the focal plane by a few millimeters.

Yea, its very hard focusing macro shots. And that small viewfinder is not helping. I am still getting use to this way of photographing through a peep hole.lol But one of my eyes is getting a lot of workout..hahah

I set the f-stop to 18, so I could get a little more depth of view. I had to setup my tripod and shutter to like 1 second.

Is it with the green base? I seen some really nice shots of it..

It was nice seeing you again. Haven't really seen your tank after you got it up and running. Last time I was there you were just finishing up the overflow.. Now I bet its packed and looking great..

 

[pecan2phat]

Tom,

Your welcome to come over anytime. Maybe hookup with Pierce and check out his 180 & 150, he's in the same town as I am.
