We may be saturated with anemone photos: however, this one has a
remarkable seascape quality. The Magnificent Sea Anemone
characteristically occupies an exposed position, whereas its close
relatives are very retiring. It sits front and centre of other elements of its
environment – corals and reef fish - in the style of an old-fashioned
botanical painting. Its exhibitionist characteristics might put it in grave
danger but it doesn't seem to care.

This little fish looks a little overwhelmed in its richly-coloured palace of
kelp. The picture draws us in to this fascinating habitat.

This is a perfectly captured panorama of a well-balanced habitat, with
healthy corals, spaces for new coral to settle, and a plentiful population of
fishy inhabitants: and lovely sunlight.
