Stinging Carpets from Sleeping Anemone?

After establishing dive arrangements for the next few days with Barry of Sabye Sports, I was in the water even before I recovered from the stress of travelling. The dive site we went to on the long tail boat was so densely populated with fish fries of every kind!


Fries among the seafan

There were many slumberfied anemones, I resisted myself from waking them up…..

…..because a clownfish or a skunk anemone will take up residency by tickling the mantle for it to open!

Only then would you find carpets & carpets of stinging cells sitting on the bedrock of the ocean with their tenants fiercely guarding their young…! You can find what symbiotic relationships mean here.

These are not sold in IKEA…
