A. akindynos (Saddleback clownfish)
A. akindynos, commonly known as the saddleback clownfish, is a small, vibrant marine fish found in the western Pacific Ocean. Recognizable by its bright orange body with distinctive black markings resembling a saddle, it typically reaches about 4 to 5 inches in length. This species forms symbiotic relationships with sea anemones, which provide protection while the fish offers cleaning and predator deterrence. Saddleback clownfish are popular in aquariums due to their striking appearance and active behavior. They are hardy, social, and primarily feed on small invertebrates and algae, making them manageable additions to marine tanks.
