Scubastu, i'm relying on your ID skills again here

This absolutely stunning coral was taken at Monterey Bay Aquarium again. I couldn't get over the stunning combination of oranges, reds, and whites in this scene. Probably one of my favorite shots from the day.

Canon Eos 1D Mk II, 70-200mm f/2.8L @ 120mm, f/5.6, 1/250th.

Not coral, but an anemone, relative of the jellyfish...White spotted anemone Urticina Lofotensis I believe...

In the wild, look around the base of these guys and find these tiny candy stripe shrimp.
