![]() ![]() This guy is sure cool! He is surprisingly mobile. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pistol shrimp and goby pair. Always busy digging about, this is an amazing combo! The instant the shrimp touched down it began to dig dig dig! Within minutes there was a burrow large enough for both of them! ![]() ![]() I could watch this little guy for hours. His filter arms are so delicate and busy. He really goes to work when it's feeding time. ![]()

![]() Hi Christy!
Thanks for the nice words! Canon PowerShot S400 is the camera I use for the shots. It has a macro feature that seems to reach through the glass and capture some really clear images! I even use it for little movies. I am not much of a photographer, but sometimes I get lucky ![]() Thanks again!

![]() Thanks for the info. Do you use a flash when you take the pics? I just can't believe how incredibly sharp and well lit they are. Oh and I know about digicam pics. I get about 2 shots per 40 turn out to my liking

![]() Hi Tony!
Thanks for the comments! The red rose is only a day old in my tank. The aquarium shop I frequent in Calgary has excellent specimens that are so healthy and bright. This particular anemone already had a mated crab and looked so nice it seemed an obvious choice. I will find out what lights he uses to maintain them. This guy is always bringing in neat stuff! I got my Goby/Pistol Shrimp pair from him, too. I am new to the hobby and am enjoying so much this little speck of ocean in my family room. Chad (a.k.a. Fish) helped me select the lights for my tank - 2x250W 10k Metal Halides, 2x VHO, 2x Actinic. Cheers!

![]() ![]() 2 out of 40 sounds about right! The flash on the camera is what I use. Sometimes the angle is off and it reflects, but most of the time it punches through the glass with ease. It's been a good little camera! ![]()
