Red and Black Anemonefish

 

I though this was a Clown Fish (Nemo) but after looking it up in 'the book' I realize this is a Red and Black Anemonefish. There appears to be many variations on the theme. This one was  hanging out in an Anemone where he/she resides. Anemones having stinging tentacles but these Anemonefish are immune to the them. They are very skittish, but will get still if you get still and hang out. This dive had a current making it challenging to get still for long enough. But this one did give me an opportunity (momentarily) to capture it.
