    I picked up a couple of frags yesterday a Zoa colony, a Yellow Polyp colony and a branch with some zoa, a rock anenome and this little pinkish purple fanlike growth. Any ideas as to what it might be. I was thinking Xenia. Sorry for the poor pics.;)

    The pics are very bad, man! Take one from a little further away or try the "Macro" function if your camera has one. If it's like a pinkish branching stuff it could be a gorgonian or some sort of plume coral. But without a better pic I can't tell for sure.
    Try and get another pic!

    Either back off like Magnus said and turn the flash off, or turn the flash off and put the lens against the glass (using macro setting if you have it). Also zoom in so that it's not able to focus on anything but what you're trying to get the picture of.
