Skilos,
Thank you very much! I use a Cannon Powershot A40. It does an OK job but sometimes shots are a bit blurry. It would probably help if I had a tripod. It also uses 4 AA bateries (not long life Nickle Cadium, etc.) so the batteries die pretty quickly! That is a different piece of Porities. One of my local LFS had a nother piece that broke off a main colony and I got that piece for $10. The other pieces are still recovering (just slowly because there was a lot of damage). Take care!
