Colonial anemone
Colonial anemone (Nemantus annamensis) attached to a gorgonian sea fan (Gorgonia sp.). Also referred to as the Gorgonian wrapper anemone, this species associates with other filter feeders such as sea fans and black coral. It benefits from growing over parts of these organisms because they often grow orientated against the current to maximize their food supply. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region. Photographed in the Red Sea, Egypt

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Colonial anemone (Nemantus annamensis) attached to a vibrant gorgonian sea fan (Gorgonia sp. ). Also known as the Gorgonian wrapper anemone, this remarkable species forms symbiotic relationships with other filter feeders like sea fans and black coral. By growing over these organisms, it strategically benefits from their orientation against the current, maximizing its access to food supply. Photographed in the Red Sea, Egypt, this image captures the essence of nature's intricate associations. The Indo-Pacific region is home to this unique creature which belongs to the cnidarian family. Its presence adds diversity and vitality to marine ecosystems. The colonial anemone's delicate tentacles gracefully sway in underwater currents while providing shelter for various marine creatures seeking refuge or sustenance. This snapshot not only highlights its biological significance but also emphasizes the importance of ecological balance within our oceans. As we admire this single moment frozen in time, let us appreciate the wonders that lie beneath our planet's vast waters. This photograph serves as a reminder of Africa's rich biodiversity and invites us into a world where wild life thrives amidst stunning coral reefs and diverse fauna.
