Tomato anemonefish (Amphiprion frenatus) in its natural environment

Caption

Tomato anemonefishes (Amphiprion frenatus) have two white bars as juveniles but lose one as they come into adulthood. The timing of this change is flexible, influenced by a range of environmental and social factors. In their new study, OIST researchers investigated these drivers alongside the underlying cellular mechanisms behind the change.
