Red Anemone - Truk Lagoon

A beautiful red anemone is in residence on the bow of the sunken Yamagiri Maru in Truk Lagoon. Red makes it something of a rarity in most parts of the world. They are also difficult, if not impossible, to light with standard underwater strobes; the red seems to record only with an available-light source and attendant slow shutter speeds. Anemonefish are not known to sit still, so this one (center right) blurs in the slow shutter.
