Here is the True Red Goniopora that has been dying in my tank(s) for the last 2 years. Martha's got nothing on this Flower Pot.

A little bit. I almost always use the crop feature in photoshop and sometimes I will mess around with color balance or contrast if something doesn't look right.
Tip to taking some decent tank shots is to turn off all of the pumps. ;)

No......not the same zoos but they are similar. The ones I got from you are doing well too though. :)

Very nice, Ryan! What camera are you using for these pictures?
Graham

Those were all shot with a Nikon D100 and 24-85mm lens. I don't think you need to worry about what camera I am using though......your photos are top-notch always. :)

Goniopora have a horrible success rate in the hobby and most suggest staying away from them. Unfortunately when I didn't know very much yet and I hadn't found this message board........I bought a the Red Goniopora nearly two years ago.......one of my first corals. It is still with me today. I truly believe that the Red Flowerpots are the only ones to attempt to keep. I have seen several of them that have been in tanks for more than a year or two. They are more expensive though........and you also have to watch out for "food coloring dyed" versions of these corals.
