excellent! what did you use to shoot those?
my new Canon EOS digital Rebel. Still learning with it mostly.. But i'm happy with how some of the pics turned out. They use horribly dim light in most of the buildings, and some rooms are flat out No Flash Allowed.. Plus the 2" thick acrylic of their main reef tank doesn't allow for very good pictures lol. So no matter what, any I took of the fish in there was foggy or distorted.. Which is too bad. There were schools of Squarebox Anthias chilling up front that I could of gotten good pics of otherwise. heh.

Anything over about 20inches is a Gigas Clam...smaller ones include Squasmosa, Deresa, Maxima, and crocea...all pretty inexpensive compared to the big Gigas.
