So just a heads up...I have a total of 3 entries thus far. Kind of a bummer honestly. I know this month's theme was a little tougher. Get your cameras or phones out. Play with your light settings. Try different angles. Get creative and submit a picture ASAP!
 
To me, much of this hobby is creating something that is colorful and visually impressive. To frame something like that in a "moody/B&W" way is kind of hard - not your fault with organizing the contest, it's just a harder-than-usual prompt :)
 
Just a suggestion, you can filter out colors with your phone camera apps editing options. Works on Android for sure, my wife's I phone can do the same and alot more. No photo shop or advanced skills required.

Definitely easier than trying to actually take a b&w photo
 
If I were to do a b&w reef tank shot, it would be of something creepy. Like someone lurking waiting for his next meal. Or for a clownfish, waiting for you to stick your hand in so she can bite it. Invertebrates are also great creepers
