About Amphiprion tricinctus Schultz & Welander, 1953
The body of Amphiprion tricinctus is yellow-orange on the snout, belly, and both the pelvic and anal fins, and darkens to brown or black toward the tail. As the common name three-band anemonefish suggests, adult individuals have three white bands or bars across their bodies. This species can grow to approximately 13 cm (5.1 inches) in length.
A. tricinctus is endemic to the Marshall Islands, located in the western Pacific Ocean. It inhabits lagoons, pinnacle reefs, and seaward reefs. It is most commonly found at depths between 3 and 40 meters (9.8 to 131.2 feet). Occasionally, it can be found hosted by individual Entacmaea quadricolor sea anemones on seaward reef slopes deeper than 40 meters (130 feet).
