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.
