Bed of White Anemone
The Skunk Anemonefish/Clownfish - Amphiprion akallopisos, is identified by a light orange color, with a single, narrow, white stripe running from the mouth to the caudal peduncle, and can grow as large as 11 cm in length. Like other anemonefish, the skunk clownfish is a protandrous hemaphrodite, and maintains a hierarchy within the host anemone that consists of a mating pair, of which the female is the largest, and non-mating males which get progressively smaller in size.

The skunk clownfish or nosestripe anemonefish, ''Amphiprion akallopisos'', is an anemonefish that lives in association with sea anemones. ''A. akallopisos'' is found in the Indian Ocean. It resides in shallow inshore reefs as deep as 15 m with a moderate to strong current. The skunk clownfish can also be kept in captivity by aquarists.
