Sapphire Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Beautiful - is that ricordia another coral that is no longer on 'the list'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 ??? They are on the list and always have been Ricordea florida Ricordea fungiforme Ricordea neglecta Ricordea rupicola Ricordea yuma Just hard to get. Also very expensive as you only get 1 mushroom on a rock which is to expensive for the new zealand market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camnbron Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hey Reef, are those pics from your tank, stock you have imported or are they just random ones from the net? I like the white speckled Bubble tip anenome (BTA): Is it classed as a rose BTA or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 are those pics from your tank, stock you have imported or are they just random ones from the net? All pics from my tank. Is it classed as a rose BTA or something else? Its is part of the Entacmaea quadricolor family which is the same as a rose anemoe,. However this is not a rose colour but pink/orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camnbron Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Reef, I have another question regarding your photos. Do you have any advice on taking photos? What time of day - sunlight glare? Lighting on the tank - all lights on? Do you use the macro funtion much? or is it possible to just take cut and zoom in on a specific coral later Cheers for any help.

Do you use the macro funtion much? or is it possible to just take cut and zoom in on a specific coral later When taking photos best to close curtains as you don’t want sunlight. I don’t use a flash or if i have to you take the photos side on so the light does not flash back. Generally if you have metal halides on your tank you don’t use a flash. Turn floro lights off as they seem to distort the photos, i get better pics using only metal halides. I cut & crop the photos 90% of the time , also to get one good photo i have to take about 10. Still learning everyday as so much to learn about taking photos, With my camera i try to use manual as i can adjust the white balance and other settings to suit, Its hard taking photo of tanks as metal halides cause problems for the camera, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
