...posting self pics

(I'm the round one behind the staghorn coral, a.k.a.: camera ham... anyway, I know, I blinked, but they wouldn't retake the photo)

OK, some personal information to help you put the photo in perspective (here ya go, Alice and Jon)...

I am an 827 year old stand of Montastrea annularis, in about 6 feet of water, somewhere in the Tropical West Atlantic. Let me tell you folks, I've paid my dues. I probably have several (hundred) children...or even grandchildren, but who knows? They never write or call...

Once upon a time I was a hard working broadcaster and nutrient and carbon sink, but I've been on disability ever since a clumsy Spaniard tripped over me back at low tide in the mid 16th century...apparently the blind fool and his crew were trying to pull their precious "little" bloody treasure ship off our shoal. Oh well, he got his...he landed in a patch of Millepora (sly grin and wink...oh wait, do polyps wink? )... but now I lead the life of a retiree. Sure, its exciting when the cruise ships are in (Mr. "Party all the Time")...but it can get old, getting groped by all those snorkelers grasping for a brace against the current. And, boy, my calcium carbonate growths rings are getting too old for these bloody hurricanes...
...but I still have the life as far as I'm concerned.
OK, everyone else's turn!
Chris, the bitter Montastrea.

Why HI You All! Don't you think I am just about the prettiest fish you have ever seen!
People see me and can't get their eyes off me! They want to take me home and care for me but for most they can not handle me!
For most of you, You can admire me but please keep your hands off me!
For the lucky few who can and will desire me be ready to have a great pod supply on hand and I will show you alot of enjoyment.
Sandy The Sexy Mandarin!

Hi, I am a 3 day old parasitic Isopod. I like to hide in the rocks by day, and suck fish's blood by night. All was cool in my world until one day I ended up in the same tank as 2 Hogfish and a Canary Blenny. That was a few weeks ago. Now everybody thinks I am gone from the tank but little do they know I am slowly eating my way out of the fish's stomachs. I'll probably be in another thread here too. I look forward to working with all of you in the future. My advice, don't stick your arm in the tank at night!



Bwhahahahahahahahaha, little do you all know there are hundreds hanging out in the refugium. Bwhahahahaha, we can't be destroyed!!!! Bwhahahahahaha!

You just knew I'd look at this, didn't you?

Jorge bought this stupid auto-focus pentax that keeps focusing on the glass and not the tank. Grrrrrr

BTW Drew is beginning to make Sybil look wrapped tight. LOL
