a) Coordinates of Stichodactyla gigantea (left) and S. mertensii (right) obtained from iNaturalist photo records of anemones and anemonefish. Host anemone identifications were individually verified for accuracy. No S. gigantea have been documented west of the Andaman Sea in the iNaturalist database. b) Distribution of occurrence records for Amphiprion species that associate with S. gigantea (left, A. akindynos, A. ocellaris, A. percula, A. perideraion, and A. rubrocinctus) and S. mertensii (right, A. akallopisos, A. allardi, A. akindynos, A. bicinctus, A. chrysogaster, A. chrysopterus, A. fuscocaudatus, A. latifasciatus, A. tricinctus, and A. ocellaris). Two other anemonefish species are reported to associate with S. gigantea and S. mertensii but omitted from this figure: A. bicinctus and A. clarkii. Neither species has been documented with S. gigantea west of the Andaman Sea. Data aggregated from the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) and citizen science database iNaturalist (n = 1300 records)
