    I fed my tank some Oyster Eggs and Micro-Vert tonight, and was amazed at the polyp extension on my acan frags.. So I started taking pictures and playing around with light setups.. I used my Canon 40D and 100mm macro, tripod mounted with a small LED flash light to light the corals (since it was 100% dark in my room)..

    Here's a couple of the keepers..
    Look at the polyp extension here!! It's soo opened up it looks like
    it's insides are coming out!!

    Another frag
    F/11 @1.6 sec ex 1.33 ISO 800

    And my favorite of the night. I lit the coral from the front through the
    front glass panel instead of the top like the previous pics.. The detail I got out the tentacles is amazing!!
    F/14 @ 4 secs ex 0 ISO 320

    Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!!
