Biocube 29 under actinics

Decided to snap some pictures under the actinics of the slower moving objects in the tank. ISO3200, 1/200th shutter, f/4.0 with a crappy 28-135 lens. I didn't feel like manually focusing the macro with no light
Comments welcome.

Candy cane is in the process of splitting the closest head.

This brain looked worse at the LFS... It's turned around and is starting to make a recovery, though I think I'll be waiting awhile for it to grow over the skeleton on the edges.

I wish the blasto would grow faster

 

Those zoas are looking good. Tip for some good macro shots, mount your camera on a tripod, set like a 2-10 sec delay (gives the camera a chance to steady after you push the shutter), drop the ISO to 100-400, increase the f-stop to around f/11. Yes it will be a slower shutter speed but the lower ISO makes for a better image quality and the longer f-stop ensures you get more of the coral in focus. Tripod is key here, and turn all pumps off (corals don't sway then).

 

I know how to macro

Those are my zoas also, from a picture I took about a month ago. I hate tripods, especially inside unless I'm doing lightbox photography.
