So I have heard of clams shutting and killing fish.... have you ever had a bad experience? Going right inside a person would think the clam would be a little unhappy about it.

Wow! That pic is unbeatable. Look at the clarity, sharpness, and color in that photo. Very well framed. Anyone notice the fish head over the horizon of the anemone?

Looks like it's a fight for 2nd place now. :) Below is my entry for competing for 2nd place. :)

This is a really old picture but I still have these guys

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y234/andrewkw/2pointO/IMG_4134.jpg

They aren't quite as vibrant now, but I still love them except for the fact they're sterile.

Here is one from this year (the first pic is the one I want to enter)

Ok, I know my clowns dont stand a chance due to point and shoot vs real camera. But here are the best offerings I have.

That will be my entry based on the image captured vs quality.

This is a pic of a couple week old baby about 1/2" long. He had a neat white dot on his head. For size see the snail in front of him.

Here is a pic of my clowns that my wife took. She became interested in Canreef when I told her about photo contests.

Here are a few taken at Richelieu Rock in the Andaman Sea in Thailand. The first is my favourite. Too bad the water conditions weren't better.
