Info sebae anemone (Heteractis crispa) hosting a tiny Red Sea clownfish (Amphiprion bicinctus), Ras Muhammad National Park, Egypt. The sebae anemone is widespread throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area from the eastern coasts of Africa, Red Sea included, to Polynesia and from south Japan to Australia and New-Caledonia. The sebae anemone is characterized by a flared oral disc which reaches between 20 and 50 cm in diameter and with multiple and long tentacles measuring 10 centimetres (3.9 in) to 15 centimetres (5.9 in) cm. The sebae anemone has two ways to feed. The first one is through the inside via photosynthesis of its symbiotic hosts zooxanthellae, living in its tissues. And the second one is through a normal way by capturing its preys via its tentacles that allow it to immobilize its prey (small invertebrates, fry, or juvenile fish). Its reproduction can be sexual by simultaneous transmission of male and female in the water or asexual by scissiparity. Note: we have no FPs of the whole family Stichodactylidae. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:58, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support The background is a little distracting. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 01:02, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, will narrow the crop a little bit. Give me 6 hours Poco a poco (talk) 06:34, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment shadows are green! --Ivar (talk) 05:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, easy fix, will also darken the image a little bit, let me go for 2 dives now and I fix it in a couple of hours ;) Poco a poco (talk) 06:32, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp, Urban Versis 32, IamMM, Ikan Kekek, and Iifar: As promised I uploaded a new version to fix the greenish shadows and also reduced the brightness a bit, I have also applied a tighter crop so that the disturbing elements in the background don't disturbe so much. Thank you for your feedback to improve the candidate! Poco a poco (talk) 17:26, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I do not approve of these crops. They removed some of the elements that help the eyes circle around the anemones, and you also cropped a tentacle on the left. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:41, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, fair enough, Ikan Kekek, I oversaw that cropped tentacle, I hope it's acceptable now. FYI, too, Urban Versis 32 Poco a poco (talk) 22:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, it's much easier to look at -- it provides not too much to distract the eye, but just enough to convey the scene. Urban Versis 32^KB ⚡ ^{(talk | contribs)} 23:45, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can still support this version, but I also still prefer the version of 10 June 2022, which is brighter. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:13, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ikan Kekek to be honest, as announced above, I addressed the brightness because even if it make look nicer it was not realistic to the lighting conditions you find down there. If you don't mind I'd like to keep it as it is to make this image more useful for WP projects Poco a poco (talk) 14:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I understand. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:51, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support per Urban Versis. Daniel Case (talk) 17:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment better, but shadows still have cyan cast (clearly visible in thumbnail). --Ivar (talk) 18:25, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Ivar, new version uploaded, good enough now? if not, would you mind to add a note? Poco a poco (talk) 22:18, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment notes added. --Ivar (talk) 06:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ivar I've only seen one note but I probably addressed both in the new version. I've to say that areas away from the anemone are peripheral in my eyes and shouldn't play a big role here, but ok, I fixed that. Poco a poco (talk) 15:33, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
