The small male and large female spinecheek anemnefish (Premnas biaculeatus) showing color difference. In this species, juveniles all grow into males first, and then males later turn into females if they get their own anemone. There is only one female per anemone. Wakatobi Islands, Sulawesi, Indonesia. June 2004.
