Maroon Clownfish: Bold Beauty for Your Marine Aquarium

Strikingly beautiful with a strong personality, the Maroon Clownfish adds a captivating presence to any well-planned saltwater setup. A true centerpiece for the discerning aquarist.

Overview

The Maroon Clownfish, Premnas biaculeatus, is unmistakable with its deep maroon to orange body contrasted by three bold white stripes. Females grow significantly larger, showcasing more intense coloration. Known for their characteristic cheek spines, these active fish are often seen exploring rockwork or tending to a host anemone, exhibiting charming yet assertive behavior.

Care Level

Considered an intermediate-level fish due to its territorial nature. The Maroon Clownfish is highly aggressive towards other clownfish species and can be assertive with smaller, peaceful tankmates. Best kept as a single specimen or a well-established mated pair, ideally with bold companions in larger systems.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 114 L (30 gallon) aquarium is suitable for a single specimen, while a pair requires 208 L (55 gallons) or larger. Provide ample live rock for shelter and territory. Stable marine water parameters are crucial for healthy aquarium fish.

Diet

As omnivores, they thrive on a varied diet. Offer high-quality marine pellets and flakes, supplemented with frozen meaty foods like mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, alongside some spirulina or nori.
