The orange skunk clownfish, Amphiprion sandaracinos, also known as the skunk-striped anemonefish is a type of clownfish that is very bright orange, with a white stripe on the dorsal ridge from the mouth, between the eyes and ending after the dorsal fin. It grows to about 5.5 inches, and lives in the western Pacific Ocean. Amphiprion sandaracinos was recently observed to coexist with the Clark's anemonefish Amphiprion clarkii within one host anemone of Stichodactyla mertensii.

Famous quotes containing the words orange and/or skunk:
“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop
and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
“But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax—
And do everything!”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
