Congrats on getting published! You can translate it for me when I'm there on my vacation that I'm going to take instead of going to the ocean. Oh... I might help you frag your Montipora Confusa too. :grind:

Fantastic photos mate! How do you get the colours in the photo's to be so bright? What are the settings on your camera when you take them, because mine always get way too much blue tones...

Thanks,
You need to play with the white balance settings.
The canon eos600 has the possibility to manual correct the white balance settings
If not, you can always chose for shadow or cloudy at the WB settings

last week i moved my suncoral (tubastrea faulkneri) from the reef to my 50 Liter NPS column. Here i can can feed a higher concentration of food without completely ruining my water parameter in my reef tank.

it not as full on polyps as before, but still has all polyps intact

Very pretty corals, so appreciate that you share such amazing pictures with us GlennF :snshne:
I am adding a few SPS frags to my tank & have hopes they will be a fraction as pretty as your's are!
