Description:

Found in the Indo-pacific area. It is often found in association [symbiotic relationship] 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.

Also cool. If you're a marine biologist, does this mean I can start posting reef fish and you can identify them for me? That would be great since I've only been able to identify a few of them.
