Two more IDs I forget to request in my previous posts


#1 I am sure this will be an easy one for someone. This was a large fish, probably 20 -24 inches - looking for ID of larger fish, not the remora.

#2 What kind of anemone? Thought possibly branched but not quite right for that and looks like hidden but is huge compared to the hiddens I have seen or find online.

Yellow Jack.
Looks like a run-of-the-mill Giant Anemone, but without a size reference it is a guess.
 
No this is much smaller. The tops of these (the white button part) is less that 1/4 in diameter and the stalks are probably about 1". As stated I thought maybe branched but it did not have the same "branches" around the outside. Thanks though
 
Hmmm , have always thought this anemone was part of the Branching Anemone / Lebrunia danae family.

Maybe. Seems too big and too light-colored.
 
The first photo looks like a yellow jack to me. They are 1 to 2' in length. The second photo looks like a branching anemone.
