  1. This is a Two-bar Anemonefish, also known as the Two-band Anemonefish, and the Red Sea Clownfish -- take your pick. The scientific name is Amphiprion bicinctus. They grow to a length of 3 to 4 inches, and they live in anemones (in case you hadn't figured that out from the name!). I like their iridescent white bands.

    I took this photo several years ago in the Red Sea, off the coast of the Sinai peninsula, near Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.

    Happy Wordless Wednesday.

  20. I like that fish. We have two clownfish (Nemo type - excuse my lack of scientific language har har) and day before yesterday we got a Chevron Tang (I think that is what its called). Truth is I just stare at the tank, Fishboy fills it and maintains it.

    Anyway, the very thing I love about the clownfish is the way they get into the anemones. I can watch for hours.

    I wonder if we can add one of these?

  24. Thanks to all of you for visiting. We're always delighted to read all the comments from our Wordless Wednesday friends.

    For those who mentioned "Nemo," technically the fish in my picture is not a Nemo. I believe that Nemo is a different species of clownfish -- Amphiprion ocellatus. Same genus, different species -- so, you could say they were cousins.

    To those of you who commented that the fish looked like he posed -- I admit, cheated a little. I cropped this from a larger photo. This fish happened to be in the center of that photo, so it was easy to crop and enlarge a bit, so you could see the details.
