- Info Golden anemone (Condylactis aurantiaca), Pistol Bay, Paphos, Cyprus. This species of anemone is found only in the Mediterranean Sea in depths of up to 80 metres. The base is attached to a rock, stone or shell and the column immersed in sediment, usually sand or gravel, with only the oral disc and tentacles visible. The oral disc may reach 12 centimetres (4.7 in), the overall diameter with the tentacles spread out is around 30 centimetres (12 in) and each tentacle is around 8 centimetres (3 in) long, green to yellow in colour, and sometimes greyish. They often have bands of white and other colours, and purple tips. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:54, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

- Question what causes the green shadows please? The images I Google online do all have purple tips, and look quite different to this image. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:15, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- Charlesjsharp: Valid point, It come from the shadows of the lighting I had to use (26 m deep). I fixed it. Poco a poco (talk) 21:54, 26 January 2022 (UTC) PD: I also retouched the WB and made it a bit warmer.

- Support Wish it weren't so noisy at the corners, but you were deep underwater. Still looks very Lovecraftian to me. Daniel Case (talk) 07:12, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

- Support I'm having trouble getting excited about a not-that-sharp octopus, regardless of the difficulties of underwater photography, but this is a sharp photo with nice details. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:43, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
