Cuttle

bandensis? From you?

S. bandensis raised from a wild egg. S/he has lots and lots of offspring behind the scenes...

Went today and say what you will about other aquariums around the world who else has spiderman cleaning the glass!?!!!!

A couple shots of Matt's tank, one white balanced the other not so much, and yeah the lowest I could go was about 1/10th of a second exposure, no tripod (wouldn't fit in my backpack! *grumble*), and I still had to do a wee bit of post processing photoshoppery, quite grainy due in it's full size but not too bad at this size.

When I got there my baby was just about to feed the cuttles, of course it wasn't live shrimp today, but it was fun

This is before they ate

This is right after they snatched a shrimp

Also saw quite a few egg clusters as well as some clear eggs with tiny cuttles inside (It looks)

And this one was next to Rich's picture, not sure if this is "his tank" or not, but the single tall pillar design definitely looks cool almost like a work of art more so than a reef.

Nice. Those cuttles are Rich's?

Rich hatched those cuttles from eggs (w/ a little help from me on the weekends), and yes, that is his "staff pick" tank with the coral pillar and orange spot filefish (Oxymonacanthus).

Told ya it was hard to shoot my tank!

Its is very surprisingly dark, our eyes are pretty badass when it comes to picking up brightness as it really doesn't look THAT dark initially. I think the fact it has a bit of a purplish look to it makes it really hard for the digital cameras to pick up.

Also here's the big window of the 220(??) thousand gallon tank. Got creative with photoshop and stitched together 4 photos to get this guy

Thumbnail due to the size.
