Key Facts

Appearance

The ORA LongFin Assorted Clownfish displays the familiar orange and white pattern of Amphiprion ocellaris, accented by black-edged fins that are noticeably elongated and flow elegantly in the water.

Care & Requirements

This clownfish is ideal for tanks of 15 gallons or larger. Maintain stable reef conditions with temperatures between 75–82°F and pH levels of 8.1–8.4.

They can thrive singly, in bonded pairs, or with compatible tank mates.
