The Maldive anemonefish (Amphiprion nigripes), also called the blackfinned anemonefish, is native to the western Indian Ocean, found around the Maldive and Laccadive Islands. It is rusty orange with a single white stripe just behind the eye and, as its common name suggests, black pelvic and anal fins; females reach up to 11 centimeters and males about 8 centimeters. It typically lives in small groups on outer reef slopes at depths of 2 to 25 meters, closely associated with the magnificent sea anemone, and feeds on zooplankton, small bottom dwelling crustaceans, and algae. The IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
