Leopard anemone

Download
A Leopard anemone Antiparactis sp. floats into the deep blue at Oculina Point, Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve. These anemones generally inhabit black coral and gorgonian fans on deep reefs out of recreational diving Range. Robinson says he stumbled across an unusual phenomenon in which 15-20 species had detached from the reef and were drifting out into the blue, a migration presumably part of their life cycle.
