The genus Amphiprion presently has 27 identified species with several species in question that may represent hybrids (A. leuckocranos and A. theilli). The genus Premnas has but a single recognized species P. biaculeatus, more commonly known as the spine cheeked or maroon anemonefish. All species regardless of genus are found in Indo-Pacific waters. There are no known Atlantic/Caribbean species. Genus - species, common (vernacular) name Amphiprion akallopisos, Skunk anemonefish
Premnas biaculeatus, Spine-cheeked anemone fish, Maroon anemonefish *there is some discussion concerning the validity of these two. A. leukocranos
may be a hybrid. A. theillei is based on two specimens from
aquarium dealers tanks, thought to come from the vicinity of Cebu, the
Philippines (Fautin & Allen, 1994)
