    Nice pictures! Does your camera use a white balance auto-correction function or did you program the white?.....the colors look great.

    Gravit, very nice shots. May I ask what type and where you got the purple porcelain crab? I picked up 2 different types of white porcelain crabs for my wife, but she would love the purple type you have, as her favorite color is purple. Well mine also. ;D

    Thanks. Very nice tank.

    Karma for sharing with us.

    The camera is a Minolta DiMage Z2. All of the pictures were taken in macro mode with a UV filter on the lens.

    Plan2Build, yes, the camera does have an auto-correcting white balance which was used on all of the pictures. I've only had the camera a couple of weeks and haven't had the chance to play with many of the settings yet.

    Poppy828, on the crab, I have no idea exactly what kind it is. I was given 2 of them and several nice corals when a member of my local MAS had to relocate to California.

    Thanks for the compliments! [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
