Clownfish of the day: OK, one more clownfish to share. This time we have tomato clownfish in the beautiful reefs of Apo Island. Wide angle photography is not my specialty, but I really like this reef scene with the clownfish moving through the huge anemone arcing across the surface, giant clam in the foreground, and soft corals in the background.
Picture of the day: You all seemed to enjoy the Ocellaris clownfish, so I figured I would share another anemonefish! This beauty is a Clark's Anemonefish, differentiated by the neon blue highlights.
Picture of the day: An ocellaris clownfish dancing among the tentacles of its anemone host. These fish were everywhere in Dumaguete, Philippines but they are in constant motion, so they are not easy to capture.
Added some new friends to our saltwater tank this weekend! We added a turbo snail, a white sabae anemone, and a pygmy angelfish. I put the anemone on top of the rocks and so far it has enjoyed that spot. The pygmy angelfish has been pestered by the yellowtail damselfish we already had, but I think it has found a safe spot.
A nice day out today, so got the #macro lens out for some light #Bloomscrolling. Not a lot going off yet, the #anemone is doing it's thing pretty nicely tho.
I had never seen this type of anemone before our dive guide pointed it out on a dive in Saba. It is simply called a Branching Anemone and it was spread out over a large area on the surface of some coral. It's always fun seeing a new species, especially when they are so pretty.
Every anemone in Dumaguete is filled with interesting critters. The Harlequin Crab is among the cutest, with its little cartoonish eyes and flashy colors.
