Maroon Clownfish
Snapshot: At full maturity, expect a striking deep chocolate maroon hue adorned with three bold vertical yellow stripes: one crowning the head, one gracing the mid-body, and one accentuating the base of its caudal fin. In juveniles, these stripes shimmer in white instead.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 10 or so, some females can grow up to 17cm. Widely distributed throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: They flourish in tanks teeming with live rock hideouts. It can often fend for itself in the absence of anemone. If anemone is present, it is pure bliss for this Maroon Clownfish. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Offer a diverse menu, mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality flakes, and algae-based pellets.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
