Allard's anemonefish (African anemonefish)

Amphiprion allardi
 Allard's anemonefish (Amphiprion allardi) lives in the coral reefs on the coast of East Africa from Kenya to Kwazulu-Natal. The fish are up to 14 centimeters long and have a black to dark brown body with two wide, white or light blue horizontal stripes. The muzzle, throat, pectoral, ventral, anal and dorsal fins are yellow, the caudal fin is white. It can easily be confused with the Madagascar anemonefish (Amphiprion latifasciatus), whose range overlaps on the north coast of Mozambique with that of Allard's anemonefish, but which has a forked caudal fin. The orange-fin anemonefish (Amphiprion chrysopterus) looks very similar to Allard's anemonefish, but lives in the western Pacific.
