Re: Orange rock beauty, now... Anem. id?   11/05/09
Bob, thanks for your quick reply I was also wondering if you could help me identify this "anemone" here they call it anemona de terciopelo (velvet anemone) and is also from the Caribbean I'm also sending a picture for you to enjoy of my "baby" a foot long panther grouper chilling next to my pair of clown fish (no incident to regret yet and is been a time ).
<Yikes... am very surprised this bass hasn't gulped the Clowns down>
Saludos desde panama
<And this Anemone... is bizarre! I've never seen anything like it in the tropical West Atlantic... Would you please send a larger, more-resolved image along so I can in turn share it about? This may be a soft coral (I don't think it is an Actinarian), or even a Hydrozoan of some sort. Very new to me. Gracias usted. Bob Fenner>
