"The skunk clownfish, and other clownfish, use sound production to defend their territory. This behavior is most common with damselfishes that produce a wide variety of sounds,[1][2] a behavior shared with at least 10 species of anemonefish.[3][4] Sounds resembling pops and chirps are most commonly heard when interacting with invading fish of the same species or different species.[5][6] Studies have shown that it is the female that defends the anemone using sound production, as well as a physical charge when other fishes attempt to enter. A. akallopisos exhibit three different types of sounds, pops, short chirps, and long chirps, used depending on the type and duration of the encounter, which can also vary by locality.[7]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphiprion_akallopisos
