The false clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a small, colourful coral-reef damselfish native to the tropical Indo-West Pacific. It belongs to the Family Pomacentridae and is commonly called the clown anemonefish or false clownfish. This species ranges across shallow (typically 1-15 m deep) tropical reefs and lagoons from northern Australia and Southeast Asia up to Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands. clownfish live in strict social groups within anemones and are protandrous hermaphrodites - the dominant fish is female and, if she dies, the breeding male will change sex to become the female
