Species Overview

Clownfish

The ocellaris clownfish is a protandrous sequential hermaphrodite that lives in a mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. Its mucus coating protects it from anemone stings. All individuals are born male and the dominant fish transitions to female.

Corvinata pintada

The spotted seatrout, despite its name, is a member of the drum family, not the trout family. It inhabits grass flats and estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Males produce a distinctive drumming sound to attract females.
