Article Synopsis
- Coral reef fish, like anemonefish, have distinct white bar patterns that are crucial for species recognition, with 28 species exhibiting between 0 and 3 bars.
- In a study, researchers found that the species Amphiprion ocellaris, which has three white bars, attacked its own kind more frequently than other anemonefish when faced with an intruder.
- The fish displayed aggressive behavior proportional to the number of white bars on a model, showing the highest aggression towards the 3-bar model, indicating that A. ocellaris uses these patterns to identify and defend their territory against competitors.
