那条藏在银莲花里的鲜亮的鱼?那是脊背海葵鱼,或栗色小丑鱼,它不仅仅是一种可爱的生物。本物种原产于印度洋-太平洋,从印度尼西亚西部到台湾和大堡礁,生活在珊瑚礁边缘。这种鱼很容易通过从每条脸颊延伸的脊椎来区分,因此得名。一群脊背海葵鱼围绕着一只占主导地位的雌性海葵形成,如果她消失了,最上面的雄性海葵会站出来——实际上是改变性别来取代她的位置。它在温暖的浅水区茁壮成长,靠近它选择的海葵。
原文:
That bright fish hiding in the anemone? That's the spine-cheeked anemonefish, or the maroon clownfish, and it is not just a cute creature. Native to the Indo-Pacific, from western Indonesia to Taiwan and the Great Barrier Reef, this species lives on the edges of coral reefs. This fish is easily distinguished by the spine extending from each cheek—hence the name. Groups of spine-cheeked anemonefish form around a single dominant female, and if she disappears, the top male steps up—literally changing sex to take her place. It thrives in warm, shallow waters and sticks close to its chosen sea anemone.
