Still working on my settings-
Never figured saltwater would be this hard to shoot-Anyhow here is what I have managed so far....

That fish is awesome, such great colours. The second pic is not enough in focus for me though.

Thanks Davo-
Unfortunately that fish does it absolutely no justice either-It's much nicer in person....I just can not manage to capture it for the life of me----

As far as the second pics-IMO,thats half the beauty of it-Many will not like the shot.And I am fine with that....

Appreciate the comments Sir...

What other fish do you have? I've always been partial to the purple firefish....those are some GORGEOUS fish. That and sleeper gobies. . . .lol.

Awesomely done man, I imagine it must be easier to shoot the pictures though if the subjects aren't 'moving' . . .

Here is a pic that shows it coloration a bit better-Still not a very good pic-Hence why I never posted it....

that's a nice pic for showing the colour on it for sure. Is that another one in the background? What are they?

Thanks Peanut-
I got some green blue chromis(sp)-3 of them
2 zebra gobies/dartfish
One purple thing that happens to be small be meaner than hell(can't manage a pic of it to save my life though)
one huge blue spotted watchman goby
4 turbo snails
3 hermits of some sort
3 emerald crabs-2 green-one black

And thats about it for fish-Many corals in their too-

I had a firefish-But the guy didn't do so well after the tank transfer and died on me-So I replaced with another purple fish(listed above) that couldn't live with it-cause of fighting issues...
As far as the pics-I dont have the luxury of my fish standing still-The all approach the glass everytime I take pics-They think it's feeding time and go nuts-So I'm pretty good with on the move shots-Just can't get the coloration and a few other factors to come out like I want----But then again-I dont use flash with my shots either-Once I go that route,Things will get much better for me......So will the pics...

Thanks-
Yes thats another in the background-I had three but one got a parasite or something and I uthanized it before I had an outbreak in my reef....

My LFS says they are zeba gobies-I guy on this forum informed me they are called dartfish-
I have not researcehd to see which they are-

My LFS is famous for not properly ID'ing fish-
