OriginalHeteractis magnifica and its symbiotic partner anemonefish, north coast of East Timor
AlternateHeteractis magnifica and pink anemonefish hovering above.
Reason
Well done underwater photo and lead image of its article. It shows the magnificent sea anemone with its symbiotic partner pink anemonefish. The pixel count isn't ideal but underwater photos have a higher degree of difficulty, so I hope the technical quality is sufficient. The photo was captured off the north coast of East Timor.

  • True, for comparison here is one of the better images of this subject, more recent photo, and FP on Commons. Underwater photos are hard. The nom image has good EV and composition (it shows the column of the anemone for instance), so I nominated it. Bammesk (talk) 19:45, 12 April 2020 (UTC) . . . I struck "more recent", my mistake. (it was nominated in 2017 but not more recent)[reply]
