Description
A stocky anemonefish with a deep red-orange to mahogany body, a broad dusky-black saddle over the back and flanks, and a single white head bar; the pelvic and anal fins are typically black while the caudal fin stays orange. Hardy and easy to feed, it is one of the feistier clownfish, it will claim a corner of the tank and harass other clownfish or small docile fish, so keep only one mated pair per system. Reef safe and undemanding, it readily accepts bubble-tip anemones (Entacmaea quadricolor) but does fine without a host; a lid is wise as clowns can jolt out of open tanks.
