Clown Fishes are easy to identify once you explore the underwater realm. Well, that movie "Finding Nemo" made them extremely popular too! Their distinctive bright orange color with bands of white and black outline on their body makes them hard to miss. These clownfishes living so cozy in their chosen homes - the sea anemones - made me stop swimming and get some photographs of them.

@ybanezkim26 informed me how unusual yet amazing these clownfishes are! First, they are all born male until one decides to transform their gender to become female and tend to their family. The sea anemone's sting is dangerous for fishes but clown fishes, in particular, have a mucus layer that protects them from getting hurt. As Kim said these creatures live harmoniously with each other despite this fact.

Many sea creatures may seem simple and yet each one is unique on its own!

What amazing photos @hivemermaid!😱

In addition to their beautiful colors and how easy it is to identify them, a very interesting aspect of these fish is the symbiosis that can exist with anemones (as you mention in your post).

Let's preserve marine life to continue seeing these incredible colors and of course, take pictures of them!🐠

Thank you Aquatic Sentinels Community! I wish to share more photos of my underwater escapade!
