Clownfish
Clownfish are popular aquarium pets and now famous movie starts, thanks to Finding Nemo and now Finding Dory.
Nemo and his dad, Marlin, are ocellaris clownfish, also called false clownfish or clown anemonefish. Anemonefish are so-named for the sea anemones in which they make their homes.
There are 28 species of anemonefish, and they come in many colours, such as pink, red, yellow, black, brown and multi-coloured stripes.
Clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) are called false clownfish because they resemble the orange clownfish
(Amphiprion percula).
