About Amphiprion akallopisos Bleeker, 1853
The skunk clownfish, scientific name Amphiprion akallopisos Bleeker, 1853, has a light orange body marked by one narrow white stripe that runs from its mouth to the caudal peduncle. It can reach a maximum length of 11 cm. Like other anemonefish, the skunk clownfish is a protandrous hermaphrodite. It maintains a size-based social hierarchy within its host anemone: the hierarchy consists of a mating pair, where the female is the largest individual, plus non-mating males that become progressively smaller in size. Amphiprion akallopisos is distributed in the Indian Ocean. Its range includes Java and the Java Sea, the western and southern coasts of Sumatra, the west coast of Thailand, extends north to the Andaman Islands, and west to Madagascar, the Comoro Islands, and the Seychelles.
