Amphiprion rubrocinctus lebt in der Natur mit der Anemone Entacmaea quadricolor. Juvenil ist A. rubrocinctus orange gefärbt mit drei weißen Binden. Die beiden Binden über den Körper verliert er beim heranwachsen und wird flächig orange mit einer Kopfbinde. Bei adulten Tieren färbt sich der Körper großflächig schwarz.
Amphiprion rubrocinctus kommt nur in Westaustralien vor, andere Berichte beziehen sich wahrscheinlich auf A. melanopus.
