Anemonefishes are found in close association with their anemones. When they swim, these less agile species use their pectoral fins more and tend to move in a more sinuous or exaggerated fashion than their relatives. They also spend more time among the anemone’s tentacles, rarely straying far from their host. When approached by a potential threat, these species are quick to seek shelter.
