wasp Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Thought this was quite interesting I cleaned some bubble algae from a place in the tank, so there was heaps of it floating around, then I notice the brain coral has all his tentacles out which is very rare middle of the day, he's looking like this So then I have a close look and see he is actually eating valonia. As I watched he actually absorbed some of them down his mouths. Only the small ones though. If they were too big he would try, but end up spitting them back out. By the time I thought of getting a pic most of the action was over but here is an attempted close up of a valonia 1/2 way down one of his mouths (extreme right side of photo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelifaxNZ Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Great shots! What are Valonias? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 If you don't know, you're lucky! They are nasty little round green bubble shaped things that grow all over the tank once you get them and they look nasty, they are a type of algae. I have a plague of them, they can be seen in nearly all my photos. You can see them in this pic in clumps on the rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 what is your camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 It's a Kodak DX4530. Good in it's day but not up with what's for sale now. For editing the pics I'm using Irfan View, it's a free program available on the net. Very easy to use. The camera seems to do good close ups, or at least pics that I can crop a close up from using irfan View, but still can't get a decent shot of the whole tank there is some kind of problem with the light the camera has auto light detection and just won't work right photographing the tank. Used Irfan View to make my avatars also, it's a great little program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
