Details for Clownfish

• Clownfish

  Clownfish, also known as anemonefish, are small, brightly colored fish native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They are famous for their symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, to whose stinging tentacles they are immune. Clownfish typically range from 6 to 18 cm (2.4-7 inches) in length and display vibrant patterns of orange, red, black, or yellow with white bands. They live protected within the anemone, which in turn benefits from the clownfish cleaning it and potentially luring prey. Clownfish are territorial and often found near coral reefs, feeding on small invertebrates and algae.
