Clown anemonefish (Amphiprion sp.) amongst bleached sea anemone tentacles. Increased temperatures in surrounding waters or exposure to too much light can cause sea anemones to expel symbiotic algae. As a result they lose their colour and appear white. Photographed at Bunaken National Park, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
