Top Down Pics

Me likey!!! I also like those Cloves!!!! Hint Hint LOL!!! You have some sweet corals and your pic's are excellent too!

That is Roys chalice it's got a cool yellow rim to it. The other is a no namer, but one of my favs, got a cool name for it???? Can't go wrong with the blue rim, yellow eyes and pinkish base colors

These shots are truly amazing Stylaster!! What camera body & lens are you using? I can never get clear top-down shots...my shaky hands give everything motion blur.
 
Thanks guys! I am using a canon rebel xs with 18-55 mm lens. For the top down pics i didnt turn off the flow i used a photobox and stuck that in the water and shot through it. Works pretty well. I dont have the steadiest hands in the world, so i set ISO up to 800 and then usually take 3-4 pics of each scene in RAW format and then during post processing pick the clearest one. Sometimes i never get a nice clear pic and will have to go back and try try again ;)
 
Now for some SPS corals. I dont have much in the way of them but here are a few, along with an orange crush acanthastrea
