Clownfish

Ocellaris clownfish

These popular little characters portrayed in the animated movie "Finding Nemo" have been scientifically proven to be no funnier than any other fish. Cohabitating with sea anemone, its kind of like "The odd couple", as they have very different eating and living habits, but somehow belong together... like beer and nuts, well sort of. In all, there are many places in the Whitsundays that these fellows can be found nervously defending their symbiotic partners and family when you approach.
