Pics of Acan Maxima, smoke show of a coral

Haven't shot this guy in quite a while. Looks super crazy under the blues. Was starting to close up for the night so you could see the purple flesh between the polyps you don't normally see when it's full and plump!!

Very nice! Did you use a tripod and shoot through the glass?

Yes, I always use a tripod when shooting in the tank (except phone pics of course). You can tell (or at least I can, "Maxima 31" for instance) which ones are more slanted through the glass to get certain shots. I have 3/4" starfire glass so angled shots get added "blur" as opposed to more straight on shots.
