As far as the rock work believe it or not i had a mock-up aquarium and made papermaches first to see exactly what i wanted to do and how I wanted it to look, from there I put the rocks together oh and the rocks are not glued just pegged.

thanks for the positive ID on that coral. I'll make a note of that one.

Ok thanks. I do the same thing as you with the room dark, and I underexpose as well - maybe not enough? A guy on here sphelps takes photographs in a similar style as yours where the background is blacked. I'm still trying to figure out how because it sure makes the corals pop out in the photo!

Papermache? Hehehe. I tried to peg my rocks, but ran out of patience, so mine are zip tied. You must have a lot more patience than me.
