Clownfish
Amphiprion percula
Amphiprion percula, also known as the clownfish, is a small species of fish that is native to the warm, shallow waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are known for their bright orange and white stripes and are popular aquarium fish. In the wild, they live among the tentacles of the sea anemone, which would be deadly to most other fish due to the anemone's stinging cells.
