Friday I saw what looked like an anemone out on the flats. Couldn't find it in Reef Creature. It was about 4"X8".The topside had tentacles that looked like sharp curved spikes( about 6-8 ) with the tips a dark greenish color. Underside was was a disc-shaped pad. It was not attached to the bottom but fluttering its' disc on each side to create a hovering forward movement. Was this an anemone that I saw. Has anybody seen this? No pic. Sorry.

Went diving at the bridge with the rest of the state today. We came upon a fish that was reddish-orange, stout, with folded upward wings, a banded rear body, and waspy-like movements, digging in the shells and sand, spitting stuff out. Anyone have any idea what it is? I've never seen anything like it. Ria took a photo, but won't be developed till later.

An upside down jellyfish? I've seen them out there.

Bob - maybe upside down jellyfish? This was from back in October.

Thanks for your help ladies. Joanie, yours is closest to what I saw. Neat animal.

I have the Sealife mini on order. I'll really have to work at fl**ding that camera. Uh-oh. Did I jinx myself?
