You have proven my previous post. Either would have been outstanding. By the way, I'm only picky about things I don't like to eat. I'm just not that demanding.

Thanks sir.

No camera. I wish.

Samsung cellphone camera capability... I can get closer macro than that, but I would need to prep for it. Lighting tuned, and move the target coral to the "sweet spot" for pics. I cant focus and zoom in on anything that's more than ~14ish inches or so deep.. that's the advantage of a lensed DSLR.

You do well with a phone, the mouth of my magnifica nem from the desk end so over 2 feet away, strive, as you obviously do for the best you can get , they are all memories you want to picture again at some point!

Thank you so, and Yes, I'll never be able to achieve that from a distance over 6", let alone 2ft or half a meter

I've never seen a yellow mouth on a nem before. Do u have more photos of it?

Looking forward to it bud.

My Sunday just got busy... order came a day early.

Excited for my first frag session. Just doing zoas and palys with a razor. Followed by an iodine dip. Gonna do some youtubing to get a feel for it and then I'm just gonna send it. Haha.

I will be wearing gloves, and eye protection my friends.

Just closed a deal on a trade for a Lightly used JB doser...
@Fudsey , thanks for the hook up pops.

Handle them with feeling, no squeezing, try not to do less than 3 polyps, you are removing them from a colonial piece or a fragged grown out bit, single polyps stand way less chance or take way longer to settle ime, doucement, gently!

Good luck with the fragging session. I have always been too much of a chicken to frag zoas.

Thanks dave, and welcome.

 

[RichtheReefer21]

All said and done, im Happy.
Had a few zoas and palys spit at me, but I was ready for it. The acrylic panel worked beautifully for me.

SPS up first.

Zoas were 2nd.

Voila...

Off to have dinner w my folks.
Be back later.
