Hey all... My interest in Zoas & Palys guided me here. Figured i show you some of the locals we find here in the tide pools.

(sorry for pic quality, I'm using a P & S)

I'm sure you've seen these before...

Here are the good ones... I actually call them PEoA. (People Eaters on Acid) I have yet to see them for sale anywhere. These look like this in the ocean and continue to look like this even after tank and light adjustments. I was told before that they will change color, but they don't.

Great photos. You're going to fit right in here. We have some master photographers on R2R. Maybe someday I will learn how to take a decent one.

I don't ave a waterproof setup... I'm oping to make a top-down type unit out of a bucket and some plexi, so i don't have to bend over as much in the tide pools. I'll experiment a bit with that and the camera one day.

There is a local photographer that has many pics though. here are some:

Thanks for the kind words... I'm using a cheap $150, 3 year old, sony point and shoot. I always say i got the eye of a photographer, but the pockets of a homeless person. lol Actually, my daughter comes first so i can't justify spending the money.

Welcome!!! Nice PAlys!

Thank you

no problem... hope you like more.

Here is some weird growth from a colony after fragging.

Also got a reef disc from a friend who did some collecting yesterday... I'm going out with him next sunday to see if we can get more or others.
