I got to see my fishy friends at the oral surgeons office! The sea anemone is Stunning! #fishkeeping #aquarium
A photo of a fish tank: A medium size view of an aquarium. There is a beautiful pastel orange and pink waving sea anemone taking up most of the background with some clear water at the top. There is a Foxface Rabbitfish, which is yellow and flat and has a black spot near its tail and a black and white face. It is spiking up his top fin so it looks like a Mohawk. Above in the middle are two clown fish. They are smaller and orange with white stripes. There is in the upper left middle is a tuxedo damselfish that is black and white stripes. In the background there is a blue and yellow tail damselfish. A close up of a sea anemone. It is pale pink and peach color. The delicate tendrils reach and wave. At the base of some of the tendrils there are veined globes of clear and peach color. I believe it is new growth.
