The Red Sea Clownfish (Amphiprion bicinctus, meaning "both sawlike with two stripes"), commonly known as the Red Sea or two-banded anemonefish is a marine fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae, the clownfishes and damselfishes.
[4] Clownfish are small-sized, 10–18 centimetres (3.9–7.1 in), and depending on species, they are overall yellow, orange, or a reddish or blackish color, and many show white bars or patches.
Within species there may be color variations, most commonly according to distribution, but also based on sex, age and host anemone.
Clownfish are found in warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans and the Red Sea in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons.
[5] The species is found in the Western Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, Socotra and the Chagos archipelago.
[3][5][1] The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random, instead being highly nested in structure.
