The anemone that you see is one frame of a 2-minute hi-def video which I shot at an aquarium shop in California. I shot it at night, after the customers had left, so there is no light interference or reflections in the glass. It turned out really well, but I need to work out a lot of details on how to implement it in the program. For one thing, the video file is 20 megs. For another, there's no way of looping it seamlessly (the tendrils blow all over the place in no particualr pattern). And finally, the clownfish has to nestle and play among the tendrils.

So, no - the anemone will not be the first object animated.
