Another crack at it:



Edit: Noticed feint magenta tinge to the blues after posting. This one, a bit less:



Couldn't get a decent result using the previous 'sequential qualifier' strategy in Resolve. So opted for reconstructing the red channel (as best) with the RGB Channel mixer. Then just one qualifier to deal with some vibrant magenta coloration on the tips/edges of the anemone tentacles that stood out, followed by fine tweaking and levels/contrast adjustment with the primary color wheels, and a pinch of local contrast ('mid-tone detail'). Didn't mess with global Saturation too much as it only brought back the blue cast.

Better, surely....maybe, bearing in mind that I don't know what color the anemone is supposed to be ? Tormento did mention though that the fish is orange (the fins):

I guess that would make it the fabled 'Orange-Fin Anenome Fish'

Anyway, best I could come up with. Interesting exercise though.

Did you arrive at a workable solution Tormento ?
