Ron Silver False Clown Anemonefish, Amphiprion ocellaris

Cristina Paredes False? Why Ron Silver?

Ron Silver Its the common name. I believe it came about due to the difference in the coloration of stripes and the borders of those stripes.

Cristina Paredes Here in Brazil we have a fish that is called "false flyer fish" - in the books it is called Flying gurnard) - do you know it?

Ron Silver Yes, see attached: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/211679/flying-gurnard

Cristina Paredes Exactly! It is very easy to see it here...

Ron Silver It has very extensive pectoral fins which look like wings and allow it to 'fly' through the water. I guess this reminded someone of a flying fish which has similar pectoral fins but 'flies' above the water instead.

Cristina Paredes That is the idea...it is very funny and beautiful to see it "flying" below the water. Only in Mexico I saw the "original" one hehehehe...

Carlos Andrés Pérez Ron you are great!!!

Steve Rosenberg These anemonefishes, Amphiprion ocellaris, which closely resemble the orange clownfish, Amphiprion Percula, are commonly found throughout the IndoPacific. Image taken in Wakatobi, indonesia. #scuba, #Wakatobi, #anemonefish D300, 60mm Nikkor lens

John Richards I'm hoping to make it to Wakatobi sometime soon, hopefully next year!

Steve Rosenberg This False clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris, is often confused with the Amphiprion percula (Nemo). The Ocellaris possesses exactly the same colours and patterns at first sight but it distinguishes itself by the thickness of the black outlines. On the Amphiprion percula, all of the fins are outlined with a much more pronounced, thicker black line. Nikon D300, 60mm macro lens.

Elly Jeurissen Thanks for sharing this information Steve. Would be nice if there was a photo of the other Amphiprion next to this lovely shot for comparison... :-)
