An Introduction:

Reefism is an outlet for my musings and photography: I am studying and working as a marine scientist and currently cultivate corals and other marine organisms in a high tech 900x900x400mm reef tank at home, and soon will be cultivating corals in a much larger system at the ANU.
Keep watching this space for my photographs and other information about my reefing practices

Ricordea Attempting to Feed

Ricordea sp. Attempting to feed, Timelapse from Brakefree Customs on Vimeo.


Finally got my hands on some equipment to do timelapse photography, here is one of my first attempts, a Ricordea trying to eat some pellets, failing twice then having a sulk...
The whole process took about 10-15 minutes

Ricordea Munching down on an unfortunate Isopod

I saw that one of my Ricordeas (a soft coralimorph) had caught a tiny crustacean called an isopod and was munching it down, ran upstairs to get my camera and by the time I got it onto my tripod he had almost finished his meal! about 9 seconds after taking this photo the isopod had dissapeared!
