Better pictures of the corals

Took the time to take some slightly better pictures of the coral colonies (click on them to enlarge, they are 1024 pixels across in the enlarged version).

The zoanthus red+green colony, seen without flash, colors in the picture are a little pale, but you get an idea of size and color:

Then the same with flash, colors closer to what you see with your naked eye.  There is no shade, and colors are a little too saturated with flash, but more realistic than without flash:

Then the green+white+brown zoanthus colony, which is quite hard to photograph because of it's position in the tank.  The angle you need to be at to take the picture always results in an unsharp picture, I guess because of the refraction effect of glass+water.  Or maybe it's just my bad photography skills.... anyway, the picture gives an idea of what this colony's color mix looks like:

Then the grass-looking white spot star polyp colony, seen from the side.  It would be great to take a picture from above, but the angle normally results in a blurred and ugly picture.  It is quite hard to take a shot of this coral because its polyps keep moving in the current, like long grass in the wind.  Quite amusing and peaceful to watch:

Finally the giant button polyp colony, in a sharper picture than before.  Probably because camera line of shooting was almost perpendicular to the glass.... you'll notice on the upper right hand side of the picture that this colony came with a hitchhiking macro algae (the green thing that looks like a young leafless tree).  This picture looks almost identical to the real thing seen with your naked eye.

Hope this gives a better idea of what the coral inhabitants of the tank look like.
