Hi all,
I received an email from a friend of a friend today asking if I could help out in some form or another. I'm not posting this to solicit images directly, more to simply throw it out here in case anyone is interested.

Hello everyone,
I work at the Academy of Sciences/Steinhart Aquarium
and we are looking for some pictures of corals and fish for some
materials. We are in the process of building a new aquarium, due to open in 2008, that will have the largest living reef tank in the world at over 225,000 gallons.
To prepare for this,
we are starting grow-out of corals and fish this year, and will start
an "adopt a coral or fish" program, mostly for kids, to both educate
and raise money for the tank. We would like to produce some kind of
cards that kids could be given with a picture and some basic
information about the species to give them some ownership of their
“adoption”, as well as have some education value. So, back to the
picture part-I've seen some fantastic photographs of corals and fish close-ups over the years, and would be looking for some "best" shots to add to the information cards mentioned above.
While we couldn't pay for the photos, we would of
course give you photo credit on the publication/card.
We will be looking for colorful shots of the following species:

Corals (macro shots of frags or small specimens)
Acropora
Montipora
Pocillopora
Hydnophora
Euphyllia

Fish:
Tangs/Surgeonfish (purple, yellow, achilles, sohal, powder brown/blue
etc.)
Cardinalfish
Chromis
Anthias
Wrasses

If you are interested and can help out, you can e-mail your hi-rez
photos (300dpi) to ptucker@calacademy.org. Please make sure
to include the species name if you know it and your name for photo credit.

Thanks for your help!

Best, Peter
