Appearance

The coloration can vary slightly depending on lighting, often showing subtle pink or yellow tones. The simple yet elegant pattern gives it a calm visual presence in reef tanks.
Care & Requirements
These clownfish thrive in aquariums of at least 20 gallons for a single fish or 40 gallons for a pair. Maintain stable parameters within 75–82°F, a pH of 8.1–8.4, and salinity between 1.020 and 1.026. Provide live rock for shelter and natural territory boundaries. They are omnivorous and accept a varied diet of quality marine pellets, flakes, and frozen foods such as mysis or brine shrimp, fed two to three times daily.
Although anemone hosting isn’t required, they will often form symbiotic relationships with species like the Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). As captive-bred fish, they are less stressed, easier to feed, and adapt faster than wild specimens.
