I thought that was a sea-anemone for a sec. I remember the one at my local aquarium shop. It used to wrap itself round the guy's arm when he put his hand in the tank. The clownfish pinged away in horror. Somehow those anemones are fatal to nearly all tropical fish (clownfish being the big exception) yet humans can't feel anything at all from their multiple stinging tendrils...

We are lucky that the anemone venom does not affect us Gled. that or it can't pierce the skin

Ah you are right Steve

Is it the shadow of California viper on the left? Or is it my perverted imagination?
