However, movement of the host anemones was uncertain
along their path, revealing a major impact on
the spawning and embryonic development of the harbored
fish. Normal spawning intervals of the developed
anemonefish brood stocks in the absence of mobility were
3–4 days except P. biaculeatus (8–9 days) after the hatching
incubation (Fig. 4). During host’s movement, spawning
intervals of A. ocellaris, A. sebae, A. sandaracinos and A. clarkii
happened on 8 days interval whereas A. percula and P. biaculeatus
were at 10–12 days interval (Fig. 4). The resident’s
spawning interval varied significantly (ONE WAY ANOVA,
F(5, 66) = 88.60, P < 0.05) between the species during host
movements. However, it was found that the spawning of
settlers occurred only in the unmoved host.
