A. nigripes (Blackfoot anemonefish)

A. nigripes, commonly known as the Blackfoot anemonefish, is a species of marine fish found in the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, particularly around coral reefs. It is distinguished by its vibrant orange and black coloring, which provides camouflage among sea anemones. These fish have a symbiotic relationship with anemones, where they seek protection within the anemones’ stinging tentacles and, in return, help keep the anemones clean and provide nutrients. Blackfoot anemonefish are social creatures, often living in small groups, and are popular in the aquarium trade due to their striking appearance and fascinating behavior.
