Amphiprion polymnus [Amphiprion polymnus]
Description
This clownfish is often seen in and around anemones, where it benefits from the shelter and protection the tentacles provide. Divers can sometimes spot it peeking out from the anemone, then retreating quickly as divers approach or as small currents bring food within reach.
