      No, this is not the species featured in Finding Nemo, which is Amphiprion ocellaris :

      Nemo - Amphiprion ocellaris This Clownfish can be aggressive to protect their 'patch' of anemone host.<br /> Usually, when divers get close to them, they tends to hide among the tentacles of the anemone host, and other times, the bigger one, that's the Female may approach the divers to attack them. They do bite if the divers insist on backing off. Amphiprion ocellaris,Anilao,Clownfish,Geotagged,Nemo,Ocellaris Clownfish,Philippines,Summer
