Dad gum starfish, every time I turn around there's another hoppin' out of the tank. BTW, there's 6, but you cant see the other two. I've got some more pics, I'll post them later. I also have 300.00 worth of Tyree and ORA frags coming this Thursday.

Unfortunately, I'm not that great of a photographer. But I'm working on it. I've got a new lens coming for my Canon Rebel XTI, its a SIGMA 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro Lens. Anybody using that lens? I here decent things about it, for the price. Any one have any experience with it?

Few more macros I was able to snap while the halides were on. 250w Icecap EB, 10,000k XM's. The lens is awesome. These were all just one try shots. I didnt alter them or anything. Of course the color isn't that great under the 10,000K's. Additionally I could crop these and get right in there with the polyps.

Like this.

Realize I cant make out these polyps that well from right up next to the tank. This was shot from 4 foot away, which is about as close as it will focus in on the coral.
