This is a photo of a "family" of pink anemonefish in and around their host anemone. If you look closely you can also see the small anemone shrimp (tiny white eyes) in and around the anemone.

What inspired us about this particular photo is the community that this anemone has. As a living organism, the anemone has two other species living with it in peaceful cohabitation creating a diverse as the photographer mentions, "a family". Beautiful.
