Original - Tentacles of a bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor), a species of sea anemone of Indo-Pacific origin. This anemone is a natural host of several species of anemonefishes, and grows to 30 cm (1 ft) in diameter. It obtains the majority of its energy from sunlight via its symbiotic zooxanthellae. It is believed the bubbles help with sunlight capture, and are found only in the smaller individuals that live colonially nearer the surface.
Reason
This is simply one of the most impressive wildlife images we have, imo.
Oppose Does not show whole organism, misleads the viewer into thinking each one of the tentacle shapes is a different organism. A gorgeous image, but something like this is much better. If this were not used as the lead image and were helpful to point out something interesting about the tentacles that would be one thing, but as it is there is minimal EV here.

I agree that it may mislead the viewer into thinking each of the tentacles is a different organism, but this can be mostly resolved in the caption. The EV is not bad, since there is much more detail that can be seen than would be possible in a photo of the entire organism. Purpy Pupple (talk) 23:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
They're colonial, so delineating one individual from another is not as trivial as one usually expects. The fact that little seems to be known about the tentacles is nothing to do with the photograph, and I think we should give little-known subjects just as much of a chance as those where a lot is already understood. The lighting on the pink specimen that you've put forward strongly suggests an aquarium setting, and the structure of the bulbs seems different from all the examples that were more demonstrably taken in the wild, which makes me concerned that your alternative may not be a good illustration of the species.

Please explain how it's "technically incorrect", because I don't find that reflected in Purpy pupple's comments. I believe the photograph is a faithful representation of the specimen that was before the camera. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 13:38, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
It could still be a faithful representation and misleading. I admit I got the same impression- that each seperate appendage was a separate organism. J Milburn (talk) 01:04, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Support I withdraw my opposition. The caption is now a bit wordy but since it has to be to be accurate it would be unfair to criticize the nomination for that. Technically this is a very good shot and with the clarification it has very good EV. Cat-five - talk00:49, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
