Clownfish are native to wide ranges of the warm waters of the Pacific. Clownfish live in a mutual relationship with sea anemones, or in some case settle in some varieties of soft corals, or large polyp stony corals. Once an anemone or coral has been adopted, the clownfish will defend it vigorously. The anemone is required in nature because reef life is dangerous for small, brightly colored fish with very poor swimming abilities. For this reason, clownfish never stray far from their host. In an aquarium, where they don’t have to forage for food, it is very common for clownfish to remain within six to twelve inches of their host for an entire lifetime. This series of “Marine Life Protection” proof one dollar coins has been a hit with collectors since the first coin was issued in 1992. It is hard to say whether the obverse or reverse is the most attractive, but they are becoming exceedingly hard to find. Palau was chosen as the location for the 10th season of the hit reality series Survivor, and this coin depicts regional marine life, as well as a beautiful mermaid. This One Dollar coin is legal tender and has been issued by authority of the government of Palau.

Palau – Flagfin Angelfish – $1 – 2009 – Prism Technology – Proof Crown – The Flagfin Angelfish (Apolemichthys trimaculatus) distinguishes itself by its intensive yellow body coloring and its eye-catching intense blue colored mouth. It lives mostly in pairs in the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific Ocean and feeds on sponges and small crabs. Because of its attractive appearance this six to twelve inch fish is a very popular guest in aquariums around the world. Interestingly, the Flagfin Angelfish is capable of developing its sex after birth. Probably it possesses the ability to adapt itself to the number of the already existing fish of the same sex in its environment. Total mintage on this prooflike coin was limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide.
