"Clown Fish" - World Wildlife

 

Clown Fish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
We were surprised to discover that the most common Clownfish, (Amphiprion ocellaris) measures only approximately 7cm long. Coral reefs provide the perfect habitat for Clown Fish. Clownfish live in a mutual relationship with sea anemones and some cases some soft corals, or large polyp stony corals. Once an anemone or coral has been adopted, the clownfish will defend it vigorously. An anemone provides protection and food for the Clownfish. Clownfish are most prolific throughout the Indo-Pacific from Sri Lanka to the Philippines and Northern Australia.

Don’t be tempted to buy live Clown Fish, instead visit somewhere like The Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire and support the work of the Blue Planet Aquarists
