Anemone City
A coral shelf jutting from the Ras Mohammed wall just inshore of Shark Reef, carpeted with hundreds of anemones hosting Red Sea clownfish and damselfish. It slopes from about 5 to 25 m, has a coral-covered metal post at 15 m, and is typically the start of a drift out to Shark & Yolanda.
