Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Siblings can be a pain-- especially when they're all clones of you. The aggregating anemone is often found in masses of up to a hundred polyps, all of them identical to each other. The ones on the edge of the mass are smaller and unable to reproduce, but have larger, specialized tentacles called acrorhagi that they use to defend their territory from invading anemone masses.

I tried out my new underwater camera yesterday. I still need to attach the tray, housing, arms, strobe lights, video lights, wide angle lens, etc etc.... and more importantly learn how to use everything. Not at all used to this camera so didn't get very good photos but I did love these pics of tiny aggregating anemones I got. The white ones are white because they are out of the sunlight and can't support the Zooxanthellae that normally live in this species, but all these photographs are the same species- Anthopleura elegantissima.
