Amphiprion ocellaris [Amphiprion ocellaris]
Description
This classic reef clownfish is commonly seen hovering near its anemone, where it calmly navigates between tentacles that would deter most other fish. Divers may notice it “hosting” in the same anemone for long periods, often with a curious, friendly behavior.
