The black-footed clownfish is a small member of the damselfish family, recognisable by its orange body with white stripes and dark fins and fin edges. Like other clownfish, it forms a mutualistic partnership with host anemones on Indo-Pacific coral reefs, typically at depths of 10–40 m. The species tends to be more reclusive than its famous relative, the ocellaris clownfish, staying closer to its anemone host.
