Anemone on sea cucumber - Boloceroides sp.

Large sea cucumbers are frequently found in areas of deep algae as well as completely exposed on the shallow sand flats. This species, Thelenota ananas, averages 50cm in length and 15cm high and many small species find its deep rounded spines a good place to hang out. This little Boloceroides sp. swimming anemone had found a safe spot at least temporarily.
