MATERIAL AND METHODS Experimental fish were obtained on the reefs near Nasugbu, Batangas Province, Luzon, in the Philippine Islands by commercial collectors. Our single specimen of the host anemone was taken at the same locality. Verwey (1930) describes an anemone, probably identical with ours, from Batavia Bay, Java (Anemone 1, Plate XV, Fig. 2) which he says is colonized in nature by Amphiprion percula Ours was provided by the collectors specifically as the host of A. percula. At this writing it is still alive at Marineland. We believe it to be Stoichactis kenti (Haddon and Shackleton) although precise identification will not be pos- sible until examination of the internal anatomy can be made after the animal is preserved. The anemone was received at Marineland in January of 1957, and our experi- ments were started on September 3, 1957. Thus the animal was acclimated to Marineland sea water for a period of somewhat over 8 months. During the period of our observations it was maintained at 25° C. in a 60-gallon "photographic" redwood aquarium, which was so constructed that a sheet of glass could be in- serted to isolate fishes from the anemon3 when desired. We received a total of thirteen specimens of Amphiprion percula.
