Do you just superglue them to a plug? I tried that but to a piece of rubble. Now one of the heads is sitting on my sand 2 weeks after being put on the rubble.

Yes, just superglue gel, don't use to much, these are 6 weeks since fragged, all have base flesh and babies, well ready to go!

Pic just taken, they are supposed to go tomorrow but I left my little transport tub and rack at the lfs!

Because I use flickr to upload images I found one of the last pics I took with the old Nikon, flickr shows all the camera settings, baseline settings all back in in less than 5 minutes, to be continued, battery on charge!

Some day I'll learn how to use my camera better....

I can't believe these shots!

Mind my asking what lens you use?

najer · Jul 16, 2018

The lakers were a Tamrom 90 macro, the zoas were with a 16 - 35 Nikon zoom at 35, those are the two lenses I use the most.

Battery charged, Tamron 90!

How well does the Tamron lens work for taking pictures of coral that are 25-40cm away from the edge of the tank?

I have a cannon and the macro lens is 3 or 400 is there an alternative? or am I dreaming

The Lakers monti above is the first pic with the camera out of the box, tamron 90, that is about 55 to 60 mm back from the glass.

You need to spend the money on a lens, I originally bought my first body and lens, the Tamron 90, the lens was about the same price as the body if I remember the lens' are the trick imo, a decent body will take way better pics with a decent lens!
