Definitely on the right track Khoi! That last one is awesome. Is that a chalice? The tentacles coming out of that thing look pretty menacing when magnified like that...I love how they're almost see through.

Omar, the last pics is close up of Modern Coral (Green) or Cynarina coral. The Green one really puff up big with large tentacle. It's a gorgeous coral.

Roger, I am using Nikon 60mm F2.8 Macro lens. I shoot manual with very high Aperture (F16/18) with ISO of 800 and my white balance 10K. I have to use Tripod and adjust my shutter speed to slight underexposure. Wish i can afford the Nikon Zeiss 100mm, my brother has the Zeiss lens and the Details and color are amazing. I don't use any software to adjust the Picture - what you see is what i shot, no alterations.

How do I set white balance to 10K if is not an option in my camera...???
