Stunning Heteractis Magnifica "Field"

[acronautical]

I was browsing through a diving website, and found a photograph of the largest grouping of Magnificent Sea Anemones that I've ever seen. Here is the link. The photo is down the page a bit.

Yes, that Titan is very nice. Great photos of an amazing array of life on Thailand's reefs.

Wow I really just want to go harvest all those species and add them to my collection, but I guess that is the mentality we as reefers are not suppose to have.

No problem. Until finding these pics, I never realized an entire biotope could consist primarily of sea anemones.

In this thread, the diver reports that the anemone reef is located approximately one hour east of Phuket, Thailand. He says the anemone reefs are basically submerged pinnacles out in the middle of the ocean, and that it is difficult to convey how huge the area here that is carpeted by these anemones actually is.
