Off the North East coast of the Indonesian island of Sumbawa is a volcanic island called Sangeang Api. On the east coast of this island is a dive site known as Bubble Reef. Named as such because of the volcanic gasses that percolate through the black sand in the shallows.

On this site there is a rocky outcrop and nestled among the rocks in about 7m of water is a colony of Bubble Anemones. This particularly colony is bright neon pink and blue in colour, due to bleaching. And as we all know clown fish find their homes and protection among the tentacles of these Anemoe.

So, here in this shot, is a Clarks Anemone fish talking shelter from the bloody photographer who eye was caught by the amazing colour of the Ameone.
