Curator's Note

The Percula Clownfish best hosts in Heteractis magnifica, Stichodactyla gigantea, and S. mertensii in the wild. In captivity they will also readily host in Entacmaea quadricolor.

Other Common Names

Clown Anenomefish, Orange Clownfish

Description

The True Percula Clownfish are one of the hardiest and easiest marine fish to raise. They are often mistaken with the Ocellaris Clownfish. True Percula Clownfish have darker black shading around their white barring. The vivid orange coloration and personality makes this fish a favorite for many home aquariums. Relatively hardy, the Percula Clownfish can be kept in groups. However, one individual will eventually deminate the group and pick on the subordinates. Clownfish are often admired when seen hosting in an anemone. Clownfish and Anemones do not need each other in order to survive or live happily. Because Anemones require intense lighting and a very stable environment in a well established reef aquarium, it is often better to choose host that requires lesser maintenance for the clownfish.

Diet

Clownfish will gladly eat a varied diet including meaty foods such as frozen mysis shrimp, finely chopped raw shrimp, commercially prepared preparations for herbivores, flake and pelleted food. Color enhancing foods will keep the vibrant colors.
