Amphiprion ocellaris
..and then there is the all-time favorite, Nemo! flirting in and out of his anemone. Clownfish or anemonefish are fishes from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. Thirty species are recognized, one in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion.
Typically lives in small groups on outer reef slopes or in sheltered lagoons at a maximal depth of 15 metres (49 ft). It inhabits in association with three different species of sea anemones: Heteractis magnifica, Stichodactyla gigantea and Stichodactyla mertensii
