Spent ages with these uncharacteristically cooperative anemonefish while diving the Tower dive site near Sharm-el-Sheikh on the Egyptian Red Sea. Anemonefish are often aggressive but these two were quite relaxed and let me get lots of pictures. I like the silhouetted reef and light rays in this shot. This image was taken using an Olympus OMD EM10 mk2 in a Nauticam housing with an 8mm Olympus fisheye lens.
