One of the inspirations for my systems is the many reefs I have been diving on. I would guess that I've seen dozens (or more) different creatures that I've had over the years.

What on earth is it that first picture of? It’s beautiful
Orange ball anemone (actually a corallimorph but most refer to them as anemones) That one on a night dive in Bonaire. It was probably 4-5" in diameter.

In the hobby occasionally the smaller white ones pop up especially in shipments of LR from the Gulf.
