[Geysers] Anemone Questions

[David Schwarz]

The third vent of Anemone is on the near edge of Big Anemone's crater, and
it was cleared by volunteers....  I want to say in the late 1990s.  I'll
see if I can find photos or video later.

It more or less immediately grew a healthy colony of orange-brown
cyanobacteria before being gradually and unceremoniously filled back in
with silt and gravel.  Basically, it was even more disappointing than East
Triplet's short-lived excavation in the late 1980s.
