Heteractis magnifica
Is an anemone that can grow up to 1 metre (3 feet) in diameter in the wild. It is often found in association with anemonefish, or clownfish, such as the cinnamon anemonefish (Amphiprion melanopus), Clark's anemonefish (A. clarkii), common clownfish (A. ocellaris), blackfinned anemonefish (A. nigripes), true clownfish (A. percula), and the pink skunk clownfish (A. perideraion). Juvenile Threespot dascyllus (Dascyllus trimaculatus) also commonly associate with this sea anemone. H. magnifica was featured in the Pixar Animations film Finding Nemo.
Is a species of sea anemone that lives in the Indo-Pacific area.
As you can see in this case the anemone is shared by a family of Amphiprion ocellaris and a porcelain crab.
