This underwater photography by Ute Niemann shows two Skunk striped anemonefish (Amphiprion sandaracinos) as an underwater motif, which got their English name from their conspicuous white stripes, which are reminiscent of skunks. I took this photo at a dive spot in Raja Ampat in Indonesia. It shows two nemofish in their bright green anemone.

$Clownfish, or anemonefish, are colorful inhabitants of the Red Sea's coral reefs, adding a vibrant charm to its underwater ecosystems. These small, strikingly orange fish with white bands and black outlines are famous for their symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. The anemone's stinging tentacles provide the clownfish protection from predators, while the fish keep the anemone clean and provide nutrients through waste—a perfect mutualistic partnership.\n\nIn the Red Sea, one of the clownfish species you might encounter is the Red Sea anemonefish (Amphiprion bicinctus). This species is easily recognizable by its golden-orange body with two vertical white stripes. They are commonly found darting among anemones in shallow coral reefs, where they create a mesmerizing spectacle for snorkelers and divers alike.\n\nClownfish exhibit fascinating behavior, such as living in small groups led by a dominant female. If the female is lost, the largest male will transform into a female to maintain the social hierarchy.\n\nRenowned dive sites like Ras Mohammed National Park and the reefs around Sharm El-Sheikh offer excellent opportunities to observe clownfish in their natural habitat. These areas, rich in marine biodiversity, highlight the ecological importance of protecting delicate reef ecosystems.\n\nWatching clownfish in the Red Sea is a delightful experience, showcasing not only their beauty but also the intricate interdependence of marine life beneath the waves.$

$Clark's Anemonefish Ampiphrion clarkii occurs in tropical Indo-West Pacific in a depth range from 1-60m, max. size 15cm. Ampiphrion clarkii has the broadest distribution of any anemonefish and occurs in many color varieties, geographic ones but melanistic one too, as some sea anemones change the fish's color, mostly from orange to black. The juveniles are mostly yellow like this specimen near a Leathery Sea Anemone Heteractis crispa. \nHeteractis crispa occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific, usually subtidally among dead coral and rock rubble. The tentacles are very numerous, up to 800. The length of the tentacles is typically to 10cm, so the young Anemonefish is obviously very very small. \nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia \n1°28'56.394 N 125°15'15.588 E at 13m depth$
