Ugly worms inside my coral

Yummy, John...

Even though I can barely make anything out on this paperwhite monitor... it's still enough to make me look at dinner in a different light...

Dennis,

I'm using the good ol' Nikon Coolpix 950. Really a great camera - awesome clarity/color and even better macro capability. Check my site if you to see more pictures of the same quality in my signature below
