Zoanthid beauty

[gparr]

Every now and then I get a shot that I feel shows the true beauty of a coral. Not because it's some lineaged LE drool piece, but because these animals we keep are all generally beautiful and, with the right light and husbandry, really shine. This is part of a colony of zoanthids owned by Rich Dietz, Mr. Firemouth. This one just might become an 11x14 print that I'll hang on my office wall.

Wow! Those came out great!
I wonder how they would look if I had actinics?(20K MH only)
You were right! They are pretty cool.
I was hoping the Alien Eye, blue and yellow ones come out too.

Thanks, Rich. The blue zos look pretty good. I didn't shoot the Alien Eye. More of your stuff tonight. Hard to do photo work in the car. We're almost home, though.
