Octopus Tentacle Candlestick Holders

You could not believe my excitement when I found these beautiful octopus tentacle candlestick holders on dellamorteco.com! Years and years ago, I found a stunning pewter pair in a little shop on Long Island. When I returned to the shop a month or so later, they were gone, and no one knew where they had been ordered! My quest for octopus tentacle candlestick holders has raged on ever since...Until NOW!

Product Description
Representing the unknown perils of murky ocean depths and those beyond the mundane world, the tentacle hails from Lovecraftian horror and ancient tales of sea monsters.

$75 each or $140 for a pair

From Octopus' Garden to Coral Cemetary

From TodayOnline.com

JAKARTA - Coral gardens that were among Asia's most spectacular just a few months ago have been transformed into desolate grey moonscapes by illegal fishermen who use explosives or cyanide to kill or stun their prey.

The site is among several to have been hit inside Komodo National Park in eastern Indonesia. The area's remote waters burst with staggering diversity, from corals in fluorescent reds and yellows to octopuses with lime-green banded eyes.

Dive operators and conservationists say Indonesia's government is not doing enough to keep illegal fishermen out of the boundaries of the national park, a United Nations World Heritage site. They say enforcement declined greatly following the exit two years ago of a United States-based environmental group that helped fight destructive fishing practices.

Local officials disagree, pointing to dozens of arrests and several deadly gunbattles with suspects.

Michael Ishak, a scuba instructor and professional underwater photographer who has made hundreds of trips to the area, said he's seen more illegal fishermen than ever this year. The pictures, he said, speak for themselves. AP
