I already posted these separately, but thought I'd add them to my journal as well.

I borrowed a macro lens from a friend of mine before buying one for myself. Trying to figure out how to use it. Much more challenging than I thought. The colour and lighting seems to be thrown off in every shot, even under the same camera settings.

Here's the best of the crop though … let me know what you think.

Electric Green Torch Coral:

Well today was a maintenance day in the Reef … so I figured I'd snap a few shots while I was at it.

Pics from today:

And the newest addition to the Reef. Doesn't seem to care for Aiptasia unfortunately … but he hasn't nipped any corals or bugged my Squamosa Clam yet either … Fingers Crossed

Hope you enjoy

Oh. Beautiful.But a chancy move. I have always liked them. Hope he/she dont bother your corals.

They're one of the most reef safe butterfly's … Supposedly more Reef Safe than Copperbands even … however they are less likely to take a liking to Aiptasia unfortunately.
