I haven't been able to get much of a decent pic with the camera gear I have, but for what it's worth, here's one of the better shots I managed. This is from a couple of years back I think. The GBTA has since split into 4, all currently huddling close together except for one, which I removed & traded.

Nice shots! Keep them coming! I love seeing the pairs people have. Different clowns and anemones are great.

Here's a more recent one of my Maroon pair, kind of blurry, but you should be able to see the clutch of eggs being tended by the more colourfull little male, while the female is giving us the evil eye.

Awesome! My buddy has a breeding pair as well. Always cool to see. Mine have paired up but no spawning yet. Since I gave them an anemone though, the "female" has definitely been decided and is growing at a much faster pace then before. I hope they become a mated pair at some point.

We picked these guys up a year ago, and it didn't take long for them to settle into the green monster.

Ok, I'm on a roll here. Time to stop blaming the equipment and read the instructions for the camera. A tripod certainly helps with the focus issue. Here's one taken just moments ago with some modified settings on the camera, a tripod and the critters not as spooked by the presence of the camera since it's been sitting in front of the tank for a half hour now. Female still showing a little bit of 'stay away from my territory' posture while the male is below cleaning the spawning patch. The last batch of eggs hatched on Sunday and I think they may do the deed again today. I'll try to capture a few photos of the spawning event if I'm around.

I got him and he was almost all strings, he was under a single CF and the mother colony took up a 50gal tank, it was massive!

so when i got him I had 2 CF lights on my tank and i put him in the tank and he has stayed on that rock for a month now never moved, but I upgraded to HOT5's only a few days after getting him and ever since then hes gotten greener everyday and his bubbles show up better and better in the morning and at night, during the day they become stringy
