There
is a reef plateau in the middle of Apra Harbor, Guam, called Gab-Gab Reef.
It is visited several times a day by tourists riding in a small submarine.
Peering out the portholes, they watch the "show" as hired divers
feed the larger fish. What they miss, hidden in the small crevices of
nearby hard corals, are these dayglo orange anemones, and the resident
colony of Dusky Anemeonefish. The adult fish agressively charge the observing
divers, while juveniles take cover among the stinging tentacles.
