Recentely divorced pair of maroons

[ThrillYa]

I just posted a question in the general forum to see if anyone has any insight as to why these two have recently gotten a divorce and thought I'd mine as well share the shot (pre-divorce) with the photo folks too.

Fuji FinePix S7000

I feel like a dork for asking this, but I can't place what kind of anemone that is (I'm assuming it's not a coral). It's really beautiful! What is it?

Thanks!

Very nice shot! As always, the female seems to have taken most of the property!

It's actually a purple long tentacle anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis). I was suprised at how blue the picture turned out. It was shot under 2 250watt metal halides with 20K XM bulbs.

Yep, she's definitely running the show. The good news is they are back together after several months of seperation so things are looking good.

Just re-found this post and thought I'd share the update. The clowns are back together and doing well. They have recently spawned http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=71135&highlight=
