Thanks for sharing. It would interesting to know why the anemones choose to live by the islands? If they benefit directly from the plant life on the island, or maybe their food source does somehow?

Maybe the amount the oxygen being introduced from the local plantlife via crashing of the waves nearby. Probably gives the anemones a good high concentration of dissolved oxygen.
