Yes, you're right. Although, I thought that was just a type of monti. I am still learning...

This piece had a rough ride when I first got it. I had it too high, and it got bleached a bit. I lowered it, partially shaded, and seems to be coming back nicely now.

And a few more. That about covers everything in this tank.

Some kind of Bonsai, I think.


Orange Digi


Pink Milli


I know,... not a coral, but a pretty green color. And I know its bad, stealing my Ca. It will be gone soon.

Thanks, but probably won't be fragging it for a while. I think the Purple Cross (Acropora Austera) is pretty common, though. I'm sure you can get there on the Island.

Trying out a new camera, an Olympus TG-2. Lots of features and capabilities (eg. super macro feature, and good underwater to 50'). Happy with the colour in the pics, but I don't like the AF. Has many different modes of AF, but was not adequate for some coral shots. And if you can believe it, this camera does not have a manual focus!! Here are some pics.

I am seriously thinking of returning the camera...

Dendro, probably the best pic.


Setosa, OK, but focus a little off.


ORA Green Birdsnest. Again, not the best focus.


Lokani. This focus is really bad. Tried everything, but no go.


Here is the pic of this same Lokani taken a few months back with my old Sony vid cam using the still pic option. While not great, it still shows more detail than the new Olympus.
