Tomato clownfish in anemone - a photo on Flickriver

            The tomato clownfish (Amphiprion frenatus) is a anemonefish or clownfish, that is found in the waters of the Western Pacific and the South China Sea, from Japan to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. 
It is also known as the bridled clownfish, red clownfish,  tomato anemonefish and red tomato clown.
The fish is bright orange-red, with a white head bar or vertical stripe just behind the eyes, joined over the head and with a black outline. Females reach a maximum length of 14 cm and are mainly blackish on the sides. Males are considerably smaller and are red overall. 
There is a unique closeness between clownfish and their host anemone.  The anemone provides a safe haven for the clownfish and in return the clownfish will defend its host by driving off potential predators of the anemone. this is a symbiotic relationship.
They are all born as males and if the female leaves or dies, the largest male would then become the female, and the largest juvenile become to a mature male.

De rode anemoonvis (Amphiprion frenatus) is een vissoort uit het geslacht anemoonvissen (totaal 29 soorten).
De rode anemoonvis wordt gevonden in de wateren van de westelijke Stille Oceaan en de Zuid-Chinese Zee, van Japan naar Maleisië, Indonesië en Thailand.
Deze vis leeft in symbiose met zeeanemonen, van waaruit ze planktondiertjes vangen, maar ook parasieten die de anemoon bedreigen. Ook eten ze van in de buurt groeiende wieren en voedselresten van de gastheer. De vis beschermt de anemoon ook tegen zijn natuurlijke vijanden, de koraalvlinders, door ze bij nadering van de anemoon te verjagen.
Het mannetje is fel oranjerood met een witte verticale streep achter de ogen. De vrouwtjes zijn donkerder, soms bijna zwart. 
De rode anemoonvis kan maximaal 14 cm lang  worden. 
De vrouwtjes zijn het grootst.
Alle anemoonvisjes worden geboren als man. Alleen de grootste verandert in vrouw. Is het vrouwtje weg of dood dan wordt het dan grootste mannetje vrouw;
Deze foto is gemaakt in Ouwehands Dierenpark in Rhenen.
