Description
An image of Stichodactyla tapetum anemone in unfiltered UV Light showing fluorescence. In this image there is a large amout of blue light that is so bright is it difficult to see the florescent tissues. This iis what a diver would see with out the blue blocking filter. This species of anemone will glow brightly when illuminated in ultra-violet(UV) light. It is thought the glow may protect the anemone from the intense ultraviolet light of the Sun in shallow water. This image is part of a series showing the identical specimen in white light and UV light.
