Photographer's Note
This was taken on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland.
This shot is notable not only for the large anemone you see here but also because I managed to capture three different species of damselfish in the same shot. If I'm reading my fish book correctly, the black one is a Three-spot Dascyllus (Dascyllus trimaculatus), the brilliant white, black and orange ones are Dusky Anemonefish (Amphiprion melanopus) and the orange and white ones are Pink Anemonefish (Amphiprion perideraion).
I don't have an identification book for the anemone but I posted a close-up view of it (with its subtle purple tips) here.
This shot was taken with disposable camera in an Ikelite housing w/ strobe

I don't know much about tropical fish and nothing about underwater photography. But two weeks ago the entire family saw Finding Nemo, and your shot certainly brought back happy memories of that. You should have called this "Find Nemo!"
Thanks for sharing
