Description
See an anemonefish close up in a canvas that pairs a broad orange face with a tiny transparent shrimp. The contrast in scale makes this more than a bright fish portrait. It gives you an immediate splash of warm color and a second subject to discover when you move closer.

The photograph
Cobi Hay Yacobi photographed the scene in the Red Sea; the camera date records December 18, 2015. A yellow fin and pale blue-white bar help define the anemonefish, while the shrimp sits on a tentacle to the right. The tentacle links the smaller animal to the wider anemone setting.
The two subjects ask for different kinds of attention. The anemonefish is easy to find from across a room. The shrimp takes a more deliberate look, especially if you begin by following the fin and the edge of the pale bar. That sequence gives the photograph a small sense of discovery without needing a complicated story.
Look at the amount of space each animal occupies. The difference is part of the photograph’s appeal: a large area of color sits beside fine, almost transparent detail. If you enjoy pictures that offer more than their first impression, this anemonefish and its small neighbor make a rewarding combination.
Meet the anemonefish
The Red Sea anemonefish, Amphiprion bicinctus, has a yellow-orange body crossed by two white bars with dark edges. One bar sits just behind the head; the other crosses farther back. Adults inhabit lagoons and outer reefs, where they live in association with host anemones.
FishBase’s Amphiprion bicinctus species account records its Red Sea distribution and several host anemones. These are facts about the fish species. The small shrimp in this photograph has not been identified to species, and its position beside the fish does not establish cleaning or any other interaction.
anemonefish close up on your wall
An anemonefish canvas can bring warm color to a family reading area, dining space or office sideboard. Place it somewhere visible from the entrance but accessible from nearby seating. You want to enjoy the face at a glance and still be able to find the shrimp without leaning over furniture.
The previews show the small print in a children’s bathroom, the medium in a pediatric clinic waiting area and the large in an open kitchen dining area. Use those scenes to compare scale and color. The practical conditions for the actual canvas are covered in the care answer below.
In a waiting area, a photograph with a second small subject can give viewers something to look for while they sit. At home, it offers a simple way to share the image with someone else: notice the anemonefish first, then see who finds the shrimp. There is no need to add a caption to enjoy that observation together.
Try a neutral wall around the canvas and let the orange do most of the work. If the room already has a warm accent, compare it with the fin and face. Keep tall objects clear of the right side so the smallest subject remains part of the view.
Choose the size for your space
Start with the place you will see the picture most often. A close viewing position and an open wall across a room call for different decisions. These sizes are listed as width followed by height:
- 12 × 8 in: $69 USD
- 30 × 20 in: $149 USD
- 36 × 24 in: $169 USD
Use a sheet of paper to mark the full rectangle on your wall. Look at it from your usual chair and the doorway, with nearby lamps and other pictures in place. This gives you a better guide to scale than comparing the artwork with a screen. Allow enough clear wall around the edges for the photograph to feel complete.
Check the preview for your selected size before ordering, since the image crop may vary slightly between options. If the space calls for another dimension, ask about a different canvas size before placing your order.
Canvas, printing and delivery
The photograph is printed on canvas stretched over an inner wooden frame, 0.75 in deep, and arrives ready to hang. A decorative outer frame is not included. The supplied presentation lets the image sit on the wall without an added border; you can arrange separate outer framing if that suits your other artwork.
Each canvas is printed to order in the USA. Printing takes about 3 business days; estimated delivery after printing is about 2–5 business days within the USA or 10–30 business days to Canada, Australia and other eligible destinations. These are estimates rather than a promised arrival date. Express shipping is not available.
Shipping is free to the USA, Canada and Australia. For other countries offered at checkout, shipping costs US$25–US$36 for the first canvas, depending on size, plus US$8 for each additional canvas. The total appears before payment. Import duties or taxes may apply outside the USA. The English shop does not ship to the EU, the EEA or the UK.
Find a companion photograph
Compare the anemonefish with the Red Sea anemonefish facing forward among tentacles and the Red Sea Anemonefish Canvas Print. They show the same fish species from different viewpoints.
The Pink Anemonefish Canvas Print from Palau shows another species. Browse the fish canvas collection to compare how each animal sits within its surroundings. A pair can share the anemone theme without repeating the same photograph. The marine life identification guide offers further reading if you want to put names to the differences you notice.
