Sebae anemonefish

Saiboani mas

Amphiprion sebae

Amphiprion sebae and Amphipron clarkii are similar in appearance, but the latter usually has a third white band on the caudal peduncle and lacks the posterior extension of the second white band on the dorsal fin, making it easier to distinguish them. Both species are very popular among aquarists.
