If I remember correctly it was in ankle deep water. Nearly stepped on it while walking around. I can imagine some can be exposed to air at low tide.

Those little clowns are adorable!! Anyone know what type those are? I love
thatI've been diving and snorkeling in Fiji this week. Thought I would share some of my favorite pictures!
I love anemones, so you'll probably see more photos of them than anything...
Saw a couple S. mertensii anemones. These things are HUGE in the wild!!
BTAs, as usual making their home in the center of coral colonies [emoji23]
Haddoni anemones are found so shallow in the
Huge tabling acro colony
Beautiful color combo of these Christmas tree worms, maroon and white!
Found a zoa colony under a rock outcrop half exposed to air during low tide. Also a surprising amount of flow going over them.
A "high end" mont, aka M. palawanensis
I want to as well but im in Canada and cold-water diving isnt exactly the most fun. No corals, cold water, big scary fish if there is any. I love though how the hobby extends into nature itself, proving that most people who love this hobby love it because of their love for the ocean. Thats why I got into it. I live in the middle of nowhere so i had to bring the ocean to me XD. I love those little clowns in the carpet anemone. What species are those? They look really small. ALso, is that a torch or a BTA in pic three? The grey one. Thanks dude will be following this page

Yeah i used to want to get something like a nice beginner Nikon camera for tank shots, scuba shots, etc, but then i found out they were like $1400+ XDthank you, have to invest into the gopro then.

I keep water chemistry as my hobby
Wow thank you for sharing. I love these posts, wish they weren't as rare as they are especially from Fiji. Enough with "help me pick out my fish" posts and more of these!!
Yea I have seen pictures of them out of the water at low tide or sitting in a small pool at low tide and that water must heat up dramatically. Same with sps I have seen so many pictures of SPS out of the water at low tide backing in direct sunlight. They got to be so tuff to handle that but the minute you put them in a plastic bag to ship them they are not so tolerant anymore.

The little black fish are actually domino damsels. Pretty, but nasty little territorial fish in captivity.

Yeah, corals aren't nearly as healthy and resilient as a lot of the ones in the wild. I imagine environmental conditions or diet has a lot to do with it
