Thank you bud, taking the photos underwater have improved my pics a lot by not going throught the glass
i need to learn how to do that. are you using a porthole or is the camera literally water proof?

Its waterprook, the Olympus TG6 and I use a dedicated sea filter from Kood that is fairly cheap. The cameras arent cheap cheap but a bargain can be got with a used one or even the previous model, TG5 if youre on a budget. However they are a lot cheaper than dslr cameras such as Canon. The beauty with these cameras is that there are settings for using in the sea and taking photos of sea life, perfect for us ;)

A little comparison of a frag I have had for about a year. Was small and brown when I got it. Started dosing coral essentials a,b and c and fauna marin Amin in february and wanted to see if they made a difference. Its not a particluary expensive coral but Im liking it a lot :)

Got home after being away since last week and the storms were waking up in the nano, lights not on but the lights from the window enough to stir them :)

This is a beautiful piece. I love the texture / structure. any idea what the name is? The color when it was small was impressive, but it looks very healthy now!

I think its an Acropora Donei. Its not a fast grower but its definitly a unique look :)

I highly appreciate that you chose to use the scientific name. One of my favorites is Lokani.
