Pink Anemone Fish Amphiprion perideraion
The pink anemone fish with it's home anemone, however look closely and you will see something wrong, this fish has been infected with the tongue eating isopod parasite. This parasite enters through the gills and attaches to the tongue which eventually dies and the parasite takes its place. Apparently it lives off the fish's blood and the fish has to live with this parasite in its mouth. The underwater world is truly bizarre: Larger Image:Pink Anemonefish Here is a link to a closeup of the mouth:Closeup Olympus OM-D EM-1 MkII + 60mm macro.
