Very interesting! I thought it was an anemone too! Thanks for the link.

Oh.. a coral then! It sure had me fooled. And the fish as well - it has no protection there after all then lol. Or is it in a tank?

Thanks for the kind comments, Kiki and Nugar. Even though this looks like a sea anemone it is actually a coral called Elegance Coral.http://www.reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets/elegance_coral.htm

Fascinating shot... Nemo rules :) It's hiding in sea anemones btw, strange creatures and poisonous hunters. The clownfish are immune to them.

Beautiful image, Larry

Yup, that's better. That "coarse" USM is part and parcel of my standard workflow - worth saving it as a PhotoShop action.

Thanks for the comments, Julie and Phil. I played around with some of your suggestions, Phil, and updated the image. Thanks for the feedback. ~ Larry

Nice image Larry. Perhaps a little crop at the bottom (may or may not be an improvement).
It could do with a little contrast boost - either simple USM at 20/60/4 or better still USM 20/50/0 followd by Edit/Fade USM/Darken then USM 10/50/0. Will giev the image much more punch.
