Pink anenomefish

Amphiprion perideraion

Description:

Unfortunately this is as close as I got to this fish without it taking refuge in its anenome. Pink anenome fish are not as aggressive as their cousins Clark's clown fish. They are distinguished by the white dorsal fin, and lateral white stripe running over its gill cover and lighter coloured eyes. Their come in different variations of peachy-pink colours.

Hi Elsa- While this species certainly does look like it has a white bonnet, this is in fact Amphiprion perideraion. I am not certain of the common name, though "pink skunk anemonefish" may currently be in fashion. Thanks for posting!
