Info Snakelocks anemone (Anemonia viridis), Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal. What you see here is a predator, related to jellyfish (but without a medusa stage in their lifecycle), that ensnares prey of suitable size that comes within reach of its tentacles immobilizing it with the aid of their nematocysts (explosive cells that contain one giant secretory organelle that can deliver a sting). The prey is then transported to the mouth and thrust into the pharynx. This species is widely consumed in Andalusia and is known as ortiguillas de mar (literally, "little sea nettles", because it has urticant properties before it is cooked). The whole animal is marinated in vinegar, coated in a tempura-like batter, and deep-fried in olive oil. All by me, Poco a poco (talk) 21:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support But I find it more pleasing vertically (quarter-turn rotation CCW) -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:22, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~* Neutral~~ for the moment. Per Basile Morin. I would also prefer a vertical version. I downloaded the picture and had a look on the rotated version. Then the surrounding and the background look natural, not like a vertical wall as in this case here. --Llez (talk) 17:42, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ok, no problem, 2 requests already, looks indeed fine, Llez (and FYI Basile Morin) Poco a poco (talk) 18:10, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
