Nice shot of the aggressive little anemone, I trust you dipped the end of your lens into the icy cold salty water :lol: :thumbs:

Cheers Alby.

LOL You must be joking!
Get my baby wet??? No chance!!!

I used a C-PL on the MT-24's filter thread. Can see some reflections at the top of the image if you look closely. The anemone was very close to the surface. The diffused light from the MT-24 gets diffused even more in the water.
This is the only shot I took of it.
It wasn't very comfortable lying on my side on a wet, sandy, rock shelf! And it was freezing cold.
