Maldive anemonefish habitat
This species inhabits lagoons and reef slopes (Astakhov 2014). It forms a commensal relationship with sea anemones (i.e., Heteractis magnifica) (Fautin and Allen 1992, Kumar et al. 2011, Litsios et al. 2012). In captivity, fecundity has been measured at 16 events yr-1 (Siva and Haq 2017). Eggs have been measured at 2.0-2.2 mm in length and 1.0-1.2 mm in width (Kumar et al. 2012). The maximum total length is 11 cm (Fautin and Allen 1992).
