Tube Anemone, Bali

This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature and Environment

This large tube anemone, photographed in Tulamben, Bali, stood high off the black-sand bottom, allowing me to shoot its spectacular tentacles from below and capture its graceful movement. The flashlight highlighted the anemone's dazzling luminance, while the setting sun added a sense of atmosphere.
