This picture was made about 25 feet below the surface, on a part of a bommie that had started to roll off vertical. There was quite a lot of surge, and the anemone was being tossed around by it. Anemones have no anus, and when they have too much junk in their stomachs, they force their digestive tract out their mouths -- that's what the red stuff is. The colors are more saturated than in real life.

Nikon F4, 105mm Macro lens, Aquatica Housing, 2 Ikelite AI/n strobes, f/16, Kodak Ektar 100.
