Amphiprion tricinctus Schultz & Welander, 1953
3-stripe clown

Amphiprion tricinctus is the species typically found in Heteractis aurora in the Marshalls. Usually there are between two and 20 juveniles. Presumably as the fish get larger, they wander off in search of other anemones, probably Entacmaea quadricolor. Twelve anemonefish can be counted in the first photo below.

Here is a fairly large A. tricinctus. Usually they do not reach this size in this anemone.

A typical juvenile.
