The orange skunk clownfish (Amphiprion sandaracinos), also called the orange anemonefish or yellow skunk clownfish, is a bright orange clownfish with a white stripe running from its lip along its back. Unlike the pink skunk clownfish, it has no white head bar.

It grows to about 11-14 cm and usually lives in Merten's carpet anemones and leathery sea anemones. As in other clownfish, the group is headed by a large female, and eggs are laid next to the anemone and tended by the male.

The orange skunk clownfish occurs in the western Pacific, including the Philippines, where it lives in anemones on shallow reefs and sandy slopes.
