I went over to Katrina's/Hooked's house today, and took some shots of her amazing corals:
Now...this last image is an interesting one. This is an aiptasia that is growing on the side of the prop tank.....but you can see it budding off babies. That's what all those little ball looking things are. We've been told how they spread like weeds....some of us have seen them spread like weeds....now you can see how they do it:

Hi,
I didnt have a tripod at the time, so I shot it with flash on. The true color is darkener.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Here is a cool shot I took last week of an Asterina starfish...the ones that are real small, crawling all over your tank and have uneven arms. I was playing around with a remote flash to backlight some corals when this star crawled across the front glass where I was taking pictures. The backlighting was like an X-ray and the picture shows the internal circulatory system!

We finally bought a new camera and now I'm trying to figure out how to actually take some pictures with it.
Best I can do so far.

Beakerbob, what macro lens are you using... you are not using the stock lens right? and lighting.. are you using a remote flash?
Katchupoy,
I'm using a Tamron 90mm f/2.8 AF macro, equal to the Nikon 105 micro in terms of picture sharpness and bokeh. For the shot of the Asterina starfish, I rigged up an old Vivitar 283 with a remote flash trigger held above the tank and slightly behind the starfish.
Here are a couple I just took using a different lighting source I just made:
