Genus
Common name: Clownfish
Scientific name: Amblypomacentrus
Amblypomacentrus is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae, commonly known as clownfish or anemonefish. These fish are known for their vibrant colors and unique symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their hardiness and ease of care. Clownfish are also notable for their breeding behavior, where they lay eggs on flat surfaces close to their host anemones. They are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning they can change sex from male to female during their lifetime.
