Appearance
ORA Cinnamon Clownfish display a vibrant red-to-orange body with a distinct black saddle on the midsection. Juveniles show a white-to-blue head stripe that fades as they mature.

Care & Requirements
Captive-bred ORA Cinnamon Clownfish are hardy and well-suited to community or reef aquariums. A 30-gallon tank provides enough space for a single fish, or a 50 gallon for a bonded pair. Maintain water parameters between 75–78°F, pH 7.7–8.5, and salinity of 1.020–1.026. Feed a varied omnivorous diet of flakes, pellets, and frozen mysis or brine shrimp two to three times daily. These clownfish do not require an anemone but will often host in Bubble Tip Anemones (Entacmaea quadricolor) when available. Provide live rock structures to establish territory and reduce aggression.
