Congrats to whomever won guilty as charged as to not reading the whole post at work at the moment, I need to submit a pic one of these months but my tank doesn't stand a chance compared to some of the gorgeous tanks I've seen on this forum.

Congrats!!!
I must say, some of these pics look to be enhanced. ???. JMO.

If by enhanced you mean using some type of software program to do post processing on the pictures, you are correct for some of them. I usually shoot in RAW format which allows me to easily alter the brightness, contrast, and other settings to show the true color of the corals. I'm pretty sure that's a practice that most people do. It's almost impossible to capture the true colors of the corals without some type of post processing.... You can ask any of the many people who have seen my tank and I'm sure they can confirm that the pictures are very close to the true colors.

Thanks guys.

My Green Birdsnest colony has been growing like a weed and I have been unable to keep up with the growth. It was starting to inhibit the flow in the tank. I recently donated it to the Long Island Aquarium (Atlantis). Here are a few pics after I removed it from the tank. Believe it or not, it still had the frag plug on it from when I got it from Joe at Atlantis.....you can kind of make out the plug in the 1st picture.

Chris r u gonna regrow that green birdsnest or looking for new sps?

Hi Matt - I kept a few pieces of it and I will try and grow a few of them out again. It really is a beautiful coral. It flouresces like crazy under Actinics and LEDs. I miss it, but I'm enjoying the extra space that I reclaimed. I can always go and visit it out in Riverhead. I have a few other pieces that I was growing out that I moved up to the main tank to fill in some of the empty space.
