Well...Your in luck.

I took some today of my clowns and carpet, I was going to post them tomorrow but if your going to be up and have a need for anemone pictures I could post a few tonight. You might like them...most are close ups

Nah...kidding, I have more. But they really didn't turn out great. Most were way out of focus. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this camera, I screw up some nice shots!



Anemone Diving!



Wish this one was in proper focus






And a dead Emerald crab This was before lights on. Was checking things out and he was laying on his back, dead. A few hours earlier he was eating hair algae Don't know why a crab would just die like this...

So...Tony...I posted these pictures tonight for you and I am assuming you went to sleep already

I do have a question for you though whenever you do check them out.

If you go back to the FTS at the beginning you will notice the anemone is a very bright green but also smaller. In these pictures, it is not nearly as bright but the anemone is also much bigger (expanded) and has its tentacles extended much longer. The pics are a little dull but probably close to the true color.

It makes sense that as the anemone expands and extends out its tentacles, it gets a little less vibrant. But do they tend to get more and more dull as they actually grow? I have seen large green ones that are more of an olive green and not the bright green you see in my first pictures. Have you (being an anemone fanatic) ever seen large gigantea carpets (let's say 10" plus) that are bright green still?

I am just curious about what to expect.
