Atlantis Marine World

I had a great time at Atlantis this weekend.
Thanks to Joe Yaiullo for making it such a great event!
This was my first time there, but I'm going back for sure.
There was so much more to see, I did not have time with all the NERAC stuff going on. I still have to edit all the photos, I'll be posting them tomorrow.
This was my favorite thing I saw, a pair of Oxymonacanthus longirostris swimming in and out of the coral in the giant reef tank. They had plenty of coral polyps to graze on

Can't wait to see the rest. It truly is a nice place to visit. I love the POTW, it looks amazing. That must be the pair of filefish Joe mentioned.

Jon, amazing pic, as usual. I stood in front of that reef for what seemed like hours. I never saw those longbeaks. I guess with 20,000 gallons and coral that looked like they were on steroids it would be easy to miss 90% of what was actually in that tank. Awesome capture.

I WANT MORE PIX

Holy crap that's a nice shot. I couldn't agree any more about the beauty of those fish.

unless you too have 25,000 gallons and acro colonies bigger than your torso, don't even think
about getting these little guys!
