This is the Tamron which is the "budget" macro lens...
All photos are raw off the camera, with zero adjustments. I am thinking of getting a photoshop lite type program as I lost a lot of good pictures to little things that could probably be corrected very quickly and easily. When I shoot fish I use the little running man setting meant for motion...
James, we have had our guy for 2 plus years at this point. They kind of hang out in the rocks and are not real active swimmers. They have a big of a chip on their shoulders towards some of the other anthias, but are mostly peaceful. They do well as singles which is nice.

Prazi can kill appetite so you may want to hold off on that for a little while. Potters are tough angels, IIRC the best bet was to always have them in tanks with lots of live rock because they are picky eaters, and having lots of LR gives them something to graze on. Try the live foods first...
We were planning on rolling the February meeting into the dr Mac trip but that did not work out. We had a back up but waited too long to inform them. Dropped ball on our part. Good news is that we are booked pretty solid for the rest of the year.
