A striped cardinalfish (Apogon angustatus) shelters beneath the stinging tentacles of a magnificent sea anemone (Heteractis magnifica). While they do not have as close a relationship as anemonefish, several cardinalfish species like to associate with anemones on coral reefs. Laamu Atoll, Maldives. Indian Ocean
