Maroon Clown (White Stripe): A Bold Gem for Your Reef Aquarium

Commanding attention with its vibrant maroon and crisp white stripes, the Maroon Clownfish is a truly charismatic addition. This striking species offers both beauty and a distinct personality for your marine setup.

Overview

The White Stripe Maroon Clownfish (*Amphiprion biaculeatus*) showcases a rich, deep maroon body accented by three prominent white vertical stripes. Known for their distinctive cheek spines and robust build, these are among the largest clownfish species. As sequential hermaphrodites, all start as males, with the dominant individual becoming the female. They are captivating, often forming symbiotic relationships with host anemones or claiming a specific territory within your aquarium.

Care Level

Intermediate. The Maroon Clownfish is renowned for its semi-aggressive to aggressive temperament, especially as it matures. It thrives best as a single specimen or a bonded pair. While generally reef-safe, careful consideration of tank mates is essential; avoid other clownfish species.

Tank Essentials

Provide a minimum of 114 litres for a single fish, or 208 litres for a pair, to mitigate territorial behavior. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, and a temperature of 24-27°C. Ample live rock is crucial for creating hiding spots and defined territories. A host anemone, such as a Bubble Tip (*Entacmaea quadricolor*), is often accepted but not required for their well-being.

Diet

As omnivores, Maroon Clownfish enjoy a varied diet. Offer high-quality marine flakes and pellets, supplemented with frozen foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and occasional spirulina or marine algae.
