1,943 georeferenced occurrence records with coordinates are published for Amphiprion chrysopterus through GBIF, from 26 countries or marine areas. This page maps those records and lists where they come from. Occurrence records reflect where people have looked as well as where the species lives, so well-surveyed coastlines are over-represented.

How to read this map
The map plots a sample of 1,943 of the 1,943 records, deduplicated to a half-degree grid, so dense areas do not merge into one blob. The sample covers 26 of the 26 countries or areas with records; the areas absent from the sample hold 0 records in total.
10 records plotting inland were omitted: for a marine species those are almost always the holding institution's coordinates rather than a collection site.
Records show where the species has been observed and reported, not a modelled range.
