Beautiful anemone! That kind of looks like a camel shrimp, the lines are so white.

it's a funny and sad pic at the same time...

i had a peppermint 'encourage' the death of a blue carpet.

thus, when i first saw this...i went oh %$@#! now i have to try and get the stupid peppermint out to prevent it from killing the anemone.

but as the shrimp was attacking it, i saw it trying to get away and not get stung and stuck by its tentacles.

next thing you see is it squirming, then it got sucked in and started twitching...then the twitching stopped. got the camera and took some pics.

i've had some peppermints that will be a total menace to anemones and corals. it is a hit and miss with them.

richard: it is a true rose anemone. the true rose's are a little tougher to find than the rbta's. i was lucky enough to acquire one. right place at the right time.
