  • Support - The plankton reflecting the flash is a bit distracting, but I can live with that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • So they found Nemo? ;-) Weak support only, the angle of the fish heads isn't the most pleasing. --Janke | Talk 14:08, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - It looks like the anemone is actually holding the fish in place. If that's really true, that would be amazing. Or is it just the movement of the water that makes it look that way? CorinneSD (talk) 16:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think the fish is hiding there. A. ocellaris are reliant on sea anemone for shelter (they have a symbiotic relationship with the sea anemone). Sea anemone are protection for the fish and their nests... Hafspajen (talk) 17:17, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
