[UW Photo A046] Clownfish at Great Barrier Reef

(Location: Jorgeys Patch, Great Barrier Reef, QLD, Australia)

This is a Clownfish (anemonefish) captured in outer reef of Great Barrier Reef. They are significantly colourful and magnificent fishes.

By doing “Finding Nemo” movie, it was expected to convey the message opposing the hobby of keeping captured reef fishes. Ironically, it affected adversely since more people wanted to keep clown fishes in their aquariums all around the world. Now it has been a threat to the survival of different species of clownfishes.
