Overview

Found in pairs or family groups, with their host anemone, over passages and outer reef slopes.

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.
