    3reefs resizes the image if you do it inline. Resolution seems to stay large if attached.

    great pano Greg, too bad the saturation isn't accurate. I need to remember to do panos of my tanks.

    Your corals look fantastic. There might be something to your theory on feeding heavily causing the coral to eject their zoox.

    Some of my corals ejects zoox too. I always thought it's because of ULNS

    Greg, which one of your corals is ejecting zoox?

    Great pics and tank, I also have a piece of the purple base monti with neon green polyps. I think it is montipora stellata species, very nice for sure. Neat growth too, very wrinkly for a branching coral

    Leo, I have some crazy theory that the more you feed corals the less they need to rely on Photosynthesis thus expelling zooxanthellae to give better color. It probably doesn't hold up under scientific scrutiny but I'm swearing by it until someone writes an article proving me wrong!

    There is also the over production of photosynthesis creating the expelling IIRC.

    I didn't see it with my insanely feed tank (feed gobs of food to find out the upper limits of our products).

    I have to agree. IME I have had the brightest colors when my n and p were near 0 and I was adding lots of food. As long as I could keep up the dance everything looked fantastic.
