lets see those leathers especially the neon sinularia

[macon77]

how do u get just the picture on there with no link?

When you open the "post" window, there are two rows of odds-n-ends buttons. On the lower row, the 14th button (Note to self: Count from the other end next time, jackhole.) corresponds to the "attach photo" function. Click it. Paste link there, uncheck the checked radial button. Voila!

On Photobucket, there is a little box on the right (The now-famous "Share This Photo Box.") Clicking on the text in the "Direct Link" sub-box, you will have "copied" the necessary text. Pasting that text here (as noted above) should be straightforward.


So, not only do I suck at photography, you now see why I don't teach Computers 101.

here is an old pic of mine

Very cool.

What is the green gal in the far bottom right of your image?

 

[GR808]

Thanks for the tip macon. That photo was taken with my phone, I'll see if I have any old pics. The lower right hand gal is a pipe organ coral.

Nice tank firebretha. What kind of lighting do u use?

 

[GR808]

I have another picture that's well over 6 months old. Is this better? Is it a Sinulara?

Macon77: I don't see a radial button to uncheck on the insert image?

LED!

Bought everything from Bill @reefledlights.com

Yea, someting clearly happened in copying the picture. All I see is a pretty red "x."

Oh, I see. Make sure that when you click on the "attach photo" button, you then select the "from url" tab.

As far as distinguishing between a Sinularia and a Nephthea, see my previous post. There would be no way to tell without cutting it up, and going through the steps outlined by Eric Borneman. There is no way I could even begin to help there. That would require far more expertise than I have.

I have some that I am sure are Sinulariae, and some that are Nephtheae. But, the only way I know this is because they are lineaged (Palau Nephthea, etcetera). By the way, if you are looking for a beautiful leather, don't go with the Palau Nephthea. It is a very cool animal to care for (it is thought to be extinct in the wild), and it grows quickly, but it really isn't that pretty.

Maybe I'll take a trip to Palau, and throw a frag "overboard." Then the hype will be over.

Indeed firebretha, that is a nice picture.

Of course, I notice the Rhodactis (Indo.) in the picture. If anyone is looking for a beautiful Indo., look for one of the ones pictured there. Dirt cheap, but stunning.

I am assuming it has the green base? (some don't)

It seems an impossible critter to photograph well. Either the green becomes apparent, or the purple becomes apparent. The only truly good picture I've seen of these was taken by someone at ReefHotspot, before their great fiasco. Their photo really captured the critter well. It convinced me to buy a few. I'm glad I did. Certainly a keeper among the Indos. Of course, the critter looks better in person. Almost fiber-optic-like. Very cool.

 

[macon77]

Oh, I just noticed something critical.

You may be aware of this, but others may not be.

The Yumas and the Indos aren't necessarily the best of friends. The Indos can grow pretty quickly. Watch their long-term placement, or you could have fighting and/or dead guys on your hands (or, in your tank water).

Okay, here come two "stupid macon questions."

1) Why does it look like the rock in the top left of your picture can not possibly sitting there without falling?

2) Why does it look like the Acan appears to be "hanging there," with no support on its right side?

Either I am old and blind, you are a master rock-stacker, you are better at photography-type "magical editing" than I, or...all of the above. Wait, the answer is obviously "all of the above." However, I am still confused by the picture.

He probably built his aquascape with acrylic rods along with epoxy/cement to create the bonsai rockwork

Here's a few pics of my ORA green toadstool and what was sold to me as a nepthya, but I suspect is just a Sinularia.

 

[GR808]

Nice looking frogspawn as well.
I gotta figure out how to just get those pics on there like that. Now I'm feeling pretty ignorant..

You can set up a free photobucket account and then follow the directions outlined here.

I did that with the direct link and copied to insert image link to no avail??? Will continue my quest later.

Don't copy the direct link, copy the IMG Code. It should look like this:
(IMG)http://i694.photobucket.com/albums/vv301/swannyson7/IMG_8416.jpg(/IMG)
But it will use brackets like these: [ ] around IMG, instead of parentheses.

You just paste it into the reply box on R2R like when you're responding to a thread. Don't click the little image icon, just paste it in the text box.

TESTING. NOTHING MORE.

It appears I may have been doing this the hard way. If there is a picture below, I have been putting way too much effort into this. If it has worked, thanks swannyson7.

Oops, try again.

WooHoo! You learn something new every day. Thanks swanny*. This is far better than the way I have been doing this.

You've got your picture posted. It's simple, but everyone always seems to want to hit that insert image icon. lol
