About Amphiprion sandaracinos Allen, 1972
Amphiprion sandaracinos is a small species of anemonefish. Females grow up to 11 cm (4.3 in) long, while males reach between 3 and 6.5 cm (1.2 to 2.6 in) long. This fish has a stocky, oval body that is laterally compressed with a rounded outline. Its body is bright orange, with a white stripe running along its dorsal ridge, starting from the upper lip, passing between the eyes, and ending at the base of the caudal fin. All of its fins match the bright orange body color, except for the dorsal fin, which is partially white. The iris of its eye is bright yellow. A. sandaracinos is distributed in the central Indo-Pacific region within the Coral Triangle, ranging from the Philippines to Indonesia and New Guinea. It can also be found in northwestern Australia, Christmas Island, Melanesia, and as far north as the Ryukyu Islands of southern Japan. This species typically lives in small groups on outer reef slopes or in lagoons, and occurs at a maximum depth of 20 metres (66 ft).
