Radial symmetries
When feeling in danger, octopuses spread out their arms, pump water through their siphon and exhibit phosphorescent pigments. Octopuses are animals with bilateral symmetry, despite these postures make them looking like radial. “My” octopus did not ink, maybe it was not so frightened after all.
Sedentary marine tube worms quickly retract their colorful bristles (visible) in their calcareous tube (not visible). Despite their exposed, radial head, they are bilateral annelids
Sea anemones are true radial animals. This anemone belongs to the Actinaria subclass
Sea urchins (Echnoidea) are true radial symmetry animals
A runaway octopus with its usual pigmentation
This sea anemone belongs to the Spirularia subclass
Sea stars (Asteroidea) are true radial animals. This specimen is crawling through a bed of peacock tail’s algae.

No sand can be collected, no shell can be picked… and of course no sea creature can be fished. That is why the waters comprised in the Natural Marine Area of Capo Carbonara swarm with fishes.

Sardinia welcomes
Either because of its sandy beaches, deep blue seas, religious traditions, unique food choices, ancient history and rich cities, Sardegna will always call your memories back there. Just after you enjoyed it, and every time you will choose your next summer holiday location.
After rocky North-Western shores of S’Archittu du Cuglieri, jewels bays and industrial archeology of Nebida in the South-West and Chia sandy beaches in the South, this year came the time of Villasimius and the South East. Follow us in the next weeks and discover shores and trails in the area bordered by the Natural Marine Area of Capo Carbonara in the South and the rich archeological site of Su Nuraxi in the North, the multi-faced city of Cagliary towards West and Peppino’s sea rock East. Each time a different location, each time a different welcome: warm or shy, rich or poor.. but never disappointing. Editing by Maria Francesca, photography by Lorenzo Borghi.
