Very nice pictures. Very nice corals.

Is this a hydnophora? I have one just like it that grew as a hitchhiker (about 5x3"now) and I wasn't sure what the heck it was. I'm glad you posted.

the macro I'm looking at is the canon 100mm macro for 550$
just as much as the camera!

i use the canon 60mm. it's about $200 cheaper. imo it's a better lens for shallow top-downs.

i use both the 60 and the 100 and i dotn know why but this above statment seem to be true. both great lenses and i will say i use the 100mm much mor often but the 60 does a great job on certain shots
