Thank you Cindy! The color variety is very interesting for these creatures considering it's named green anemone.

No problem. We have several varieties of anemones here, but I haven't seen any with this color variation before. There are plenty of organisms in India that we don't have here too and it's really amazing to see these things from all around the world.
