RAJAH AMPAT 2004 - ANEMONEFISH PHOTOS

Anemonefish and Clownfish Photos

Anemonefish (often called clownfish) and their anemone hosts are subjects that never cease to please. I had so many other subjects to photograph during this Rajah Ampat trip that I didn't photograph as many anemonefish as I normally would have. In fact, I'm sort of embarrassed to show the images on this page, but that's ok. :)

Most species IDs and some image captions are courtesy of Judy Foester.

Could the anemone be Heteractis aurora? It looks more beaded (upper right) than bulb-tipped.
