Amidst the amoeba living on Indonesian island (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bali

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'indonesian island' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'amidst the amoeba living' is the wordplay.
'BALI' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bali that I've seen before include "Holiday island to the east of Java" , "Indonesian island, capital Denpasar" , "Indonesian holiday destination" , "Island in Indonesia" , "Bail out of the island" .)
