Canon ef 100mm f/2.8 usm. If you got more money get the f/2.8L. I have the f/2.8 if you want to try it out

The L series lens will have higher quality glass which will give you a sharper photo, especially toward the edges of the image. One really nice thing about the L series lens is it comes with rubber seals. Having a lens that is somewhat protected from the saltwater and humidity is a very nice feature when taking pictures of our tanks. The L should also have a better focusing motor which will allow the camera to focus faster. Overall it is a much better lens and worth the investment.
