Spinecheek anemonefish (Premnas biaculeatus), small male, with bleached Bubbeltip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). The tentacles of the anemone are usually a dull brown, but this anemone is bleached and has lost most of its endosymbiotic zooxanthellae. This can happen because of high water temperature.
