Ephemeral spring flowers.
The most beautiful thing about anemones is precisely that: they are ephemeral. Those who find them stop, observe them, photograph them, and reflect on them. Their brevity is what makes them unforgettable.

A large sponge, a cluster of anemones, and other life is seen nearly 230 meters deep at an area of the seabed that was very recently covered by the George VI Ice Shelf in Antarctica. Sponges can grow very slowly, sometimes less than two centimeters a year, so the size of this specimen suggests this community has been active for decades, perhaps even hundreds of years.ROV SuBastian/Schmidt Ocean Institute

Dive number: 721
Date / time: Fri Jan 9, 2026 11:48 AM
Dive site: Fort Constitution Pier, New Hampshire
Water Temperature: 39F
Bottom Time: 49 mins

First dive with my new Olympus OM-1 and of 2026! We arrived ahead of low tide slack, which can be a bit dicey for visibility. When we arrived the water was crystal clear and very low, but it filled in some by the time we geared up and hit the water. We submerged and I started finding any little macro thing to shoot with the new picture. I felt like I was struggling with working distance and suspected I had accidentally set the AF limiter on the lens (which turned out to be correct), but I worked around it and got a good test drive on the camera. We found a couple small Coryphella nudis, tons of Acadian hermit crabs, lots of massive sea stars, plenty of open frilled anemones, and I even found a scallop. The water was freezing, but I'm excited at how well the pictures came out!

Armed With #Anemones: How Some Young #Fishes Survive in #Sea
Photos taken by blackwater divers offered a new glimpse into early life stages of marine fishes and their interactions with other animals
Study in Journal of Fish Biology, scientists documented larval and juvenile fishes hiding behind or carrying larval sea anemones, close relatives of jellyfish that also have the ability to sting. Adult anemones attach to the seabed, but the larvae float freely in the #ocean.
