First ever pics of my young reef

[sammyg]

Well, I'm experimenting with photography on my ~4 month old 45 gallon. Here are few pics; hope you all enjoy!
Here's a Xenia shot I posted on another thread.

Ok, here's my green star polyps. I this has grown a lot since I got it. I bought it mostly for the cool rock it's on, and the GSP's were really only in the crevices. It's grown out a lot.

Here's my leather, with xenia in the foreground. This, along with my pipe organ, was a "rescue" from an LFS that had a shipment that was physically damaged in transit, so they were going cheap. I think it's doing well so far...

The other rescued coral: pipe organ. You can't see from the picture, but half of it is dead skeleton, but the other half is doing well.

Nice tank so far, watch the xenia though, they grow like weeds!!!!!

First of three shots of my Watchman Goby. He's the only fish I can get good shots of because he hardly moves!

Tried for the close-up...

Color isn't so great, but here's a firefish goby with xenia and such in the background.
Hope you enjoyed those; I'm anxious to get more specimens to share with you all!
