Nice macros! You did a great job for not using a tripod as all of the pics looked amazing.

#11 is a montipora of some sort... I got this from FragitDan and BBlinks has one too. Rich can you help on this one?

#12 is a sunset montipora, i think.... Rich... help out....

#3 is a Bonsai Valida

Thanks! Legs and arms are sore this morning... :lol:

I really want some of that monti from picture 11.

Rich, save me some of that for when I come out in the spring ;)

Oh and very nice corals, everything looks great!

Thanks! Rich has the same frag... hopefully he has been getting better growth than I.

Top Down Macro again but in better lighting part 1
 

K. Got home early enough today to get some better shots with The Canon 180mm lens... Again, please excuse some of the blurriness as I could not use the tripod taking these top down pics. Hope you like these too!

part two coming up....

Things are looking fabulous Wayne. It's funny how some corals just take so darn long to color up - I feel your pain! I can say that once they do I usually feel that it was worth the wait.:wink:

Top Down Macro part 2...

That's it... Hope you like them! :biggrin:

Greg, thanks! I'm advertising for you... Do you recognise most of them? Many of them are colouring up now... slow but surely... hope they will start to grow a bit faster... but I am not complaining... well worth the wait! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
