Condylactis Gigantea

[The.FL.Keys]

I went snorkeling off White Street Pier in Key West, and saw these two Giant Anemones (Condylactis gigantea). These two were within very close proximity.

I appreciate the compliments...I am 100% positive of their identification. One of my favorite species as well

would love to see more, any chance?

Yeah, I can post many species around this area if you'd like? Are you asking to see more of the anemone, I'd need to take more pictures if so...that will not be a problem.

I am a massive anemone fan and sadly never dived or snorkelled. I'd love to see some more anemone pics - what ever you got!

Any mariney photo's we'd love to see!!!
