Heteractis malu (White sand anemone) with a guest Pelong SE, Brunei, 4m
H. malu is also known as the white sand anemone or delicate sea anemone. It's not super common here, which is why I tried to get right up close for a macro shot. It didn't turn out so well but I did catch an anemone shrimp hiding amongst the tentacles! You can just see the red markings on its tail fan, and antennae (with blue bands) sticking out a little further to the right.
