LOL, no one close to me has what I've got coming so I've just gotta wait. 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro for my Canon.....:marchmellow:

And you stole my idea Kenny , I was thinking a garden of different colored rics would make a great shot. I especially like the two in the front.

 

[EyeReef]

For sure winner Kenny, awesome shot. Nice selection of colors

Nice, I am jealous. It'll be a while before I can even think about a macro for my Canon. Sorry on the ric group shot idea. I just picked out the first good one I saw. Unfortunately, I lost quite a few when my work tanks got neglected the last few months =(

Thanks Mike. So can we change the rules so I can play too?

Now now, let's not get too technical :reddy: They are "soft corals" simply due to the lack of a calcareous skeleton, nothing more than that. Just enjoy the ride :shakehands:
