Overview

Found in pairs and family groups, with their host anemone, along reef crests, reef edges, and slopes.
Western Indian Ocean - Maldives, Sri Lanka

Anemonefish are specialised damselfish and live a symbiotic relationship with various anemones. Some anemonefish will only be found with one type of anemone, but others can live with many types.
They are rarely found very far away from an anemone.
