General Notes: Coexists with Heteractis magnifica, Stichodactyla mertensii, or S. gigantea. The Orange Anemonefish is an uncommon find compared to the other Philippine anemonefishes. Most of the time the Orange Anemonefish I found were associated with the anemone Stichodactyla mertensii, characterized by short tentacles and a large surface area. Clownfishes have everything going for them as aquarium specimens. They`re hardy, behaviourally interesting, colorful, do well on all types of foods, & if you start with healthy specimens and meet their habitat requirements, they`re human-responsive and long-lived.
