Description

A robust, boldly marked anemonefish with two or three crisp white bars on a brown-to-black body, an orange face and pectorals, and a distinctive pale-to-yellow tail; color varies widely by collection locality, from mostly yellow-orange to nearly all black. Hardy and long-lived, it is the least host-specific clownfish and will accept nearly any hosting anemone, though it does fine without one, often adopting a coral or rockwork territory. Larger and pushier than ocellaris or percula, an established female will defend her patch, so keep it as a bonded pair in a 30-gallon or larger reef and avoid mixing with other clownfish species or small timid fish.

Reef Safe

Yes

Environment

Clarkii Clownfish prefer a tank with plenty of hiding spots and an anemone for them to form a symbiotic relationship with. They can adapt to a range of water conditions but prefer warmer temperatures.

Behavior

This species is known to be territorial and may exhibit aggressive behavior, particularly around their chosen anemone home. They are generally peaceful with other species that do not invade their territory.
