The saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnas, also known as the saddleback anemonefish is a member of the family Pomacentridae.
Appearance
Saddleback clownfish come in a number of melanistic varieties. Color can range from black to dark brown to orange with two or three thick white bars. One is located just behind its eyes.
