Amphiprion tricinctus Schultz & Welander, 1953
3-stripe clown

We have seen Amphiprion tricinctus in Heteractis magnifica about four times so far. In each case, the anemone also hosted a group of Amphiprion perideraion. In a couple of the cases, it seemed that the resident A. perideraion were trying to drive the larger A. tricinctus away. The two photos below was a small specimen of the anemone on the seaward reef slope.

This was a larger anemone on a lagoon reef.
