here are some pics of the thing eating.i fed some frozen brine,pe mysis and some pink frozen food.

if you ever need a camera that is inexpensive,but has some manual controls the canon a590is is working pretty well for me.my camera skills are very lacking to say the least,but i am slowly working on that.this camera has shutter shutter priority,aperature priority,and "full manual" settings.the iso can go from auto to 80 to 1600.it doesn't have a lens that will do the super close up zoom shots,but for well under$200 it does a good job.in my opinion

i will try to make a couple of frags if/when i ever figure out what they are.they would only have 1-2 heads per frag.i know mike said his were not,but after watching them eat i keep thinking they could be some sort of rock anemone.i took sone pics yesterday of them eating.i'll try to post them tonight or yomorrow.

frag what???

thank you and welcome to arc

okie dokie.we are gonna come eat at jim's so i will try to run over there afterwards

yep. Just call first.

i'll take number 10.can i pick up sometime after noon today?

I'll take #1 if still available. You can just take the funds out from the refund that I got from Vivid, if that is cool.

thanks for the compliment mama.bout time you remember :-)

very nice MICHAEL!!! see, I remembered your name ;-)...just like my son's......

i appriciate the tips.those were taken in AP mode with an fstop of 2.6.i will try raising the iso.those were shot at 80.i am not sure why i thought the iso was supposed to be low.guess i'll have to try some more tomorrow.

The reflection is cool! A tripod would be nice.

A couple of tips.

If you can bump the ISO up to 800 you would get a greater depth of field.

Also, when you get a tripod use your timer too, this eliminate camera movement.

And finally if your camera offers aperature priority I would shot in that mode too.

I'm no expert just my 2 cents.

i honestly think they are some sort of paly.they have no skeleton.only a soft"foot".if i ever find out for sure and they are as rare as they seem. . . i'll have to give em a fancy name,frag em,then have me an auction :-) its almost vacation time and gas is skyrocketing again.

If those are palys, then those are bad***. I want a frag

the tubes are part of the rock.not the "thing"the thing has a foot for each separate mouth.the foot is just inside the tube on the rock so that the "thing" extends out of these holes in the rock.

My first guess was rock anemone as well but the tubes you are describing would throw that theory. Can we see a pick of the tubes?

medi:with the mouths the way they are they resemble some sort of small anemone,but they never have moved or done anything else to make me think thats what they were.

mike:i always thought they were identical to duncans as well.excepth the skeleton being nonexistant and they seem to have more color then most of the duncans i have seen.mine are in a rock that is very unique.it looks like ot has tubes attached to it,but it is the rock itself.these things come from inside those tubes

if i ever figure out for sure i will certainly let you know.i like them ok,but my wife loves them.

i have one type of hairy mushroom.it looks totally different.this could certainly be a different type.i first thought it was some type of paly.then it got this big and doesnt look so much like one.

i was just messing around with my camera and thought i would share a couple of pics.i need to get a tripod.i think that would help alot.oh yeah and maybe a better camera.

i thought this was cool.i called it reflections

i got this teal milli from azcummins awhile back,and the eye of raw also.it started as 3 polyps

this is my superman monti i got 2 or 3 months ago

my acan i have had for around a year.it thinks its time to eat because i turned pumps off

this is my pink jade.it was a 1 inch frag.when i changed from my 55 gallon to the 92 gallon it broke off the frag plug and got lost.all i had was the frag plug with glue left.i saved it just in case a polyp or two might be left.that was 6-8 months ago.this is it now.if you look to the right you can see my frag of the dreaded blue jokers.keep your fingers crossed for me.so far they have survived and opened every day.i have had them 8-10 days i think

and these are my keds reds i got last week.along with some blue hornets

i have these things that were on a piece of rock i got.they started out small and few.now after just over a year they are much bigger and there are several of them.i have never seen anything else just like them before.i dont have a good size reference except they are nearly as big a round as a baseball.

how long has it been taking for you guys "blue hornets" to melt?i bought a frag on wednesday and it looks great so far.it was guaranteed melt free and his mother colony had lots of polyps.

i only bought one item.it was a rainbow monti.was supposed to be a 3/4 inch frag.it is certainly larger then that.here are some pics

awesome.when do we start take 5?

i should have no trouble being there by 3:30.the offer to be there when it arrives and help stands for weds as well.

chiu-

Could you grab your order from southside? I usually take the tollway to Bastrop so coming back to I-35 would make me have to leave here earlier.

i

glass-binswanger.you can google it because there are several locations.acrylic-regal plastics.its on metric.wood-home depot,lowes,fine lumber,mcilikin first wood,hardwood products.

that is nice.i bought one of those and got it up and running then took it out to amarillo the weekend of easter and gave it to my mom.she loves it.i put the nova extreme pro 20" 6 bulb t5 fixture on it.once i got it all set up and running it was hard to tear it down and give it away.lol

mine is supposed to be ora birdsnest.just not sure what color they call it

mine is pink and purple,but has sharper points.i'll take a pic later when I get home and the lights are on I will get a pic for you.

yes it is pink with purple polyps, it is a fast grower. I used to have it really high under phoenix 250DE which made it really pink. I like this kind better than the other birdnest due to the way it branching, and not sharp point tip.

i cant tell the colors for sure.is that the one thats kinda pink color with purple polyps?if so i have one that is a very fast grower
