Amphiprion percula
Amphiprion percula, commonly known as the clownfish, is a small, brightly colored fish found in warm ocean waters, particularly in the Great Barrier Reef. Notable for their vibrant orange bodies with black stripes, these fish have a unique symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, where they seek refuge from predators. In return, clownfish help keep the anemones clean and provide nutrients through their waste. Popularized by movies like "Finding Nemo," clownfish are favorite among aquarium enthusiasts due to their striking appearance and intriguing behavior. They are also important indicators of the health of coral reef ecosystems.
