Wonderful photos!

May I ask what camera you are using? The clam and damsel photos are frame/calendar worthy!

Thanks for the kind words.

These were taken with a Nikon D2Xs and 105mmVR lens. The two fish photos were taken with an off camera flash fired into the tank at an angle. The polyps and the clam were much more cooperative. :lol: They were taken handheld with no flash.
