Icon5 Rock pics

These are some ics from the tank. The first two I believe are mushroom coral. Can anyone confirm?

The next three I have no idea what these are, and I'd love some advice. Sorry about the fuzziness. My lens doesn't seem to want to focus on these tiny things.

The last one looks like white holes in the pic, but they're certainly growths of some type, maybe pronged or petaly edges, and the centers are black.

The pictures are a little blurry so it is kinda of hard to tell. I don't think the first two pictures are mushrooms but I could be wrong the picture is slightly blurry. Try for some better shots

Your Tank doesn't tell you when your finished

Everything there looks like some kind of spunge. Very common on LR, expecially uncured LR. Some of them may die and some may live.

I do not know about your LR still a new-B but I am a photographer and maybe I can help you get some better pic's.

What kind of camera are you using?

It appears that you are trying to get to close to the subject because you can't make out the detail on the 1x1 display screen.

Try standing back from your tank about 2 feet and using the (+ zoom) button and allowing the camera to do the work. It may be trying to focus and can not because your to close.

Good luck...

Slim ~

Thanks! I've been struggling with my macros recently, so I bet I'm way too close while trying for these shots. The water is also murky & lot of algae growing on the glass (not cycled for cleaners yet), so I'm sure that's not helping much, either!

I'll try to repost once things clear up a bit.
