I haven't gotten around to getting a macro lens yet, but will consider it at some point. Tyree M. undata is still one of my favorite corals. excellent shots for a P&S.

But you can get good at it once you have the proper lighting for your coral pictures. Its a lot of trial and error with this method.

Set the image size to the largest (or for you 1000$ camera guys, set to raw), macro mode and on flash. Take the clearest picture that you can without using zoom (1000$ camera guys stay out of this). Then in PhotoShop, zoom into the photo as much as you can. Simply crop it, and you are done. I took my pictures with 10K light, but placed indirectly to the coral that I am taking of photo of.
