Clownfish (Twoband Anemonefish) Close-up

Young Twoband Anemonefish hovering before a sea anemone, its fins spread as it gazes out from within the tentacles. Young Twoband Anemonefish are a beautiful soft yellow colour which darkens as they age. Anemonefish habitually reside within sea anemones located on patch reefs or sheltered bays. The relationship with sea anemones is mutually beneficial - anemonefish feed on small invertebrates, and defend the anemone from other fish such as butterflyfish which would otherwise harm the sea anemone. Red Sea anemonefish are a brightly coloured, lively fish that dart in and out of their anemone homes.
