The Ocellaris Clownfish

The Ocellaris Clownfish, Clownfish or False Percula Clownfish is a popular aquarium fish. It is very closely related to ''A. percula'', the Orange Clownfish or "True Percula Clownfish", and often lives in association with the sea anemone ''Heteractis magnifica'', using them for shelter and protection.
