One of the funnest parts about having a saltwater aquarium is going to the local aquatic small businesses and "sight-seeing" the various colorful setups. Note that it can take several years to fully establish a saltwater tank.
I spend hours looking at the live rock, coral and especially the amazing creatures dwelling in the warm waters of tanks at stores in my area.
Fish watching is both soothing and therapeutic. Maybe that is the reason you see so many saltwater aquariums in doctors' and dentists' offices!
Setting up and maintaining a saltwater tank is a tedious job that requires a lot of time, patience, and money. A single fish costs upward of $15 USD. There are no warranties given on fish, marine life, coral, etc. After you buy something, if it dies there's no exchange policy.
Taking photographs and videos, on the other hand, costs nothing!
🔎 Before you go, zoom in and look closely to see if you can find the lone fish in my first photo! 🔍

There appears to be a lone little yellow fish in your first photo. I think coral and fungi must be related somehow. For some reason the first image doesn't even look like it's underwater to me.
I see a black light bathed in the second one. Might need some underwater black light Elvis paintings to complete the effect 😀
I can only imagine the work you put in maintaining a salt water aquarium. The payoff must be great though and super relaxing.
Really nice photography!
The saltwater aquarium must be a lot of work but I can see getting a lot of enjoyment from it.
I had just a regular aquarium when my kids were little, we had a lot of fun feeding and watching, naming them and talking to them. Not so much fun cleaning the dang thing, lol.
lovely underwater shot
Nice photography.
Amazing photos! The colors & the shape of the corals are fantastic 😍
I can see that lonely little yellow fish in the first picture. I think I can see what @buffalobison means with "Elvis painting" in the 2nd picture 😃
I used to have a salt tank and spent a ton of money on it. Just the lights and the acrylic tank cost a pretty penny. I love buying living rock as you never know what little anemone might be hiding in there. I enjoy having all the little critters like coral more than a load of fish!
Wow very nice photography.. Thanks for sharing
Hermosas fotografías marinas, suerte en el concurs.
Wonderful dream worlds dear @ninahaskin !LUV
The orange fish looks like a bird in a tree when looking at him. And how does your Aquarium look like? These are in the Shop right?
I have always had a particular taste for marine things, I love the photographs you published in this post, the reefs and corals are beautiful ♥
Found the fish up top between the branches of the coral facing me. That is without checking the other comments first.
My kids and I had a very large Fresh water aquarium which was so much easier to care for.
And a community patient a cared for in the past had a Salt Water Aquarium that I helped maintain when I had the time to spare.
Thank you for your participation.
