False clown anemonefish. Female anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) with two smaller males in their host anemone. Anemonefish have a symbiotic relationship with their host anemones. They are protected from predators by the stinging tentacles of the anemones (to which they are immune), and the fish clean the anemones by feeding on small parasitic plants and animals. Photographed in Misool, Raja Empat, West Papua, Indonesia.
