Can clownfish count?
The ability of clownfish to count the stripes on their bodies is not necessarily a demonstration of arithmetic in the human sense. Instead, it is more likely a visual and pattern recognition ability. They may be able to discern differences between stripe patterns and associate these differences with specific individuals. This ability is more related to visual perception and the ability to recognize and distinguish patterns than to a conscious understanding of numerical quantities as we understand them.
