Annotation Notes
09/26/2003 Joseph W. Dougherty  taxon changed Amphiprion sebae (Sebae Anemonefish) Amphiprion chrysopterus (Orangefin Anemonefish)
This is not A. sebae. That species typically has much darker (approaching black) dorsal coloration, always has much broader white belts, and the second belt always extends into the rear portion of the dorsal fin. The pictured animal is most likely Amphiprion chrysopterus, which is recorded from the Society Islands.
