Yeah, they're completely random, just with the ones that collided culled.
I think they might look a bit better if they weren't placed randomly at the 
base.
The anemone's I've seen were in tide pools, there's no current there, but 
there
is gravity, and of course they have muscles that re-align the tentacles if 
you
poke em.

OK, maybe I'll look at L-System5 sometime.
