The Amphiprion Clarkii fish, also known as the Anemone clownfish, is a salt water fish from coral reefs of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. He measures about 10 to 15 cm long and has a bright orange color with white strips that run vertically along his body. Anemone's clownfish is known to live in symbiosis with an anemone, a kind of jellyfish, in which it takes refuge in the event of danger.

Anemone clownfish is a gregarious fish and tends to live in a group. He is also very territorial and protects his anemone against other clowns fish that could try to settle there. Anemone clownfish is mainly feeding on plankton and small invertebrates it finds in the water.

Due to its bright color and its symbiotic relationship with anemone, Anemone clownfish is a very popular animal in aquariums. However, it is important to note that the Anemone clownfish needs a very specific environment to survive, especially in terms of water temperature and water quality. It is therefore important to ensure that the conditions of the aquarium are adapted to these requirements before trying to maintain a captive anemone clown fish.
