The creature commonly known as the "clownfish" is scientifically referred to as Amphiprioninae, a subfamily of pomacentrid fish. These colorful, small reef fish are most recognized for their orange coloration with black stripes and their symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. Clownfish seek refuge among the tentacles of these anemones, which provide protection from predators. In return, clownfish help to clean the anemone and provide nutrients through their waste. Their popularity in media, particularly through the animated movie "Finding Nemo," has further cemented their status as beloved marine creatures.
