Time out! Stop everyone! How in the world do you take pictures like that. Now you have to start a photo thread with instructions. Such a cool fish pic

My femininus, picture is from 3 days ago. Three years in my friends tank and one year in mine, so atleast 4 years old. She was eating well last nite, but breathing hard this morning, and stopped breathing this afternoon.

My first high end SPS was the Oregon Tort, I bought it at a SCMAS meeting from Steve Garret roughly 5 years ago. Over the years I have sold some of my older stuff and given away lots of stuff as well, but the Oregon has been with me through a biopellet crash (where I lost most of my oldschool sps) and other newb mistakes. It's amazing how hardy this little guy has been, when I brought it home, it couldn't be more than 3/4" of an inch, now it's a nice size colony that has given me some beautiful frags over the years.

I also have a True Percula clown that was given to me by my buddy Ron which is roughly 6 years old. I had this guy back in my 55g tank when I first started the hobby.

My leopard wrasse was missing this morning. I'm hoping it's just buried in hiding, not dead. Sorry to hear about your fish
