    Is this the Orange Skunk clownfish - Amphiprion sandaracinos ? Picture from Sabah, Sipadan.

    I'm moving so I can't look in my library and I need to confirm the id for a photo contest.

    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, looks very similar to Amphiprion akallopisos, but if you took the photo in Sipidan, they are A. sandaracinos. The white lip also indentifies them...

     

    Nice shot!

    Hi Sven,

     

    I had a quick look in the books.

     

    Asia Pacific Reef Guide (Helmut Debelius): Amphiprion sandaracinos (Eastern skunk anemonefish)

    A diver's guid to Underwater Malaysia Macrolife & A diver's guide to Reef Life (both by A & A Ferrari) bring up the same identification: Amphiprion sandaracinos (Eastern skunk anemonefish)

     

    Best regards and good luck with the contest,

     

    Bartus
