These beautiful little fish flitter incessantly &#8211; popping up off their host anemone to check out the local happenings, feeding on little flyby tidbits in the water, and then burrowing back down in the anemone to rub themselves with the anemone&#8217;s toxin &#8211; making them an unattractive meal for other fish and critters.<\/p>\n<p>I could seriously spend an entire dive over an anemone, just watching the show. Love these critters&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Oh, and a PS &#8211; If you would like to read more about diving in Thailand, you will find a (photo heavy) trip report from 2011\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.awoosh.com\/Thailand2011\/Trip_Report.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, and one more from 2007,<a href=\"http:\/\/www.awoosh.com\/Thailand2007\/Awoosh_Thailand_Trip_Report_Part_1.html\" target=\"_blank\"> here<\/a>. They both describe live aboard diving in the Similans\/Surins\/Richelieu Rock, as well as the diving around the Phi Phi islands.
