Clownfish and anemone color reference
Clownfish live among the stinging tentacles of sea anemones on reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. A coat of mucus protects them from the stings, and the anemone gives them shelter from predators. Clownfish are all born male, and the largest fish in a group can change into a female.
Colors to reach for
Use bright orange for the fish with white bands outlined in thin black, and give the anemone tentacles soft green, tan or purple with paler tips.
