Sea anemone in coral

An unidentified but pretty little anemone (20mm) established itself in a rock perhaps before the rock became home to the encrusting coral. It appears the stinging cells of the anemone's tentacles must be engaged in an endless battle with the coral's equivalent defenses. Only time will tell who will win the conflict or if they can co-exist.
