Thanks man. We shall see how well it went when I get home in a few hours. Tomorrow night will probably be a better bet.

Handle them with feeling, no squeezing, try not to do less than 3 polyps, you are removing them from a colonial piece or a fragged grown out bit, single polyps stand way less chance or take way longer to settle ime, doucement, gently! ;)

I treated them like my first woman si. Hopefully in the morning they look better than she did! ;Blackeye

Rich your pictures are amazing. Such a talent to be able to take good photos.

The phot of the gorg with the anthias behind it is perfect

Big smiles reading that Don. Thanks bub. I take dozens of photos, and pick 1. Each time. It takes the pressure off getting 1 single perfect shot. Just spam it and then go through them and find the best.

1&5 for me. Great shots!

I prefer 7 and 9 .

IMO, 1 and 7 highlight the NPS best.



Thanks all so far who have had votes. 1 and 7 seem to be popping up alot.. BUUUUT...

3 or 7 would be my choices.

If the coral were fully open it would be 8 in a landslide for me.

1 & 8. The contrast is stunning on 8!

You both read my mind. If the shrimp hadn't just grazed and ticked off the colony, that shot is the one, hands down. But the P.E. shown in 1 and 7 are stunners.

I am still undecided. At least I feel I have narrowed it down a bit. I thought the moonlight shot of the frag with babies symmetrically growing out around the base would get a few votes (@thejuice24 has that frag now)
