Inverts

Osprey Whisperer

Some inverts from a local fish store. Not the best shooting situations....but not bad either. Too bad they don't keep their tank glass clean. :dunno I guess I'll have to start carying the cleaning kit inside with me next time. :scratch

1) Floating Sea Mine.





2) Death Star





3) Green Mushrooms

Very interesting shots. Are they fish? I read mine so I wonder if it is a mine with fish growing on them...
Like the colors and the water atmosphere you certainly have down...

Sorry, guess it is not quite your backyard.

Funny, I read fish store, I am so southern coastal now, I thought they were fish to eat.

I finally figured it out.

Thanks everyone. These are NOT fish. They are invertebrates. The first two are sea urchins. Sorry for the titles. Guess I was trying to be clever. They remind me of those floating bombs (mines) or a far fetched Star Wars (death star) space station...or something.

The green things are related to sea anemone. Sometimes called disc anemone...but more commonly refered to as mushrooms (corals). Lazy people like me just call them "Shrooms". They are an animal....but not a fish.

Hope to have some more fish/invert shots. Planning a trip to some of the public aquariums soon. :-D My tanks are all empty at the moment. :cry These shots were taken at a LFS (local fish store) ..pet shop. They don't take real good care of their aquariums. Lighting is pretty poor also. Still turned out ok IMO. Many tanks have blue actinic lights ....making for interesting lighting. Not to mention the subject matter is often brilliantly colored. (eye candy).

Cheers
