Saddleback Anemonefish - Amphiprion polymnus
This Saddleback Anemonefish - Amphiprion polymnus can be very aggressive and has been known to 'attack' divers if they stay too close with them for too long, especially when they are brooding their eggs. Although their bites are harmless, it still cause a little pain and may cause a bit of bleeding.
''Amphiprion polymnus'', also known as the saddleback clownfish or yellowfin anemonefish, is a black and white species of anemonefish with a distinctive saddle. Like all anemonefishes it forms a symbiotic mutualism with sea anemones and is unaffected by the stinging tentacles of the host anemone.
