Description

A designer strain of the maroon clownfish in which the normal thin white bars are broken into a branching, lightning-like web of white lines over a deep maroon body; females darken with age while smaller males stay brighter red-orange. Females reach around 6 inches, making this the largest and most pugnacious of the clownfishes, it will claim a host anemone or corner of the tank and harass or even kill smaller, docile fish and other clowns. Keep as a single fish or an established pair in a mature reef with live rock; it is safe with corals and ornamental invertebrates, readily hosts bubble-tip anemones (Entacmaea quadricolor), and accepts prepared foods immediately.

Reef Safe

Yes

Environment

The Lightning Maroon Clownfish requires a well-filtered aquarium with plenty of hiding spots. It thrives in an environment with a host anemone, although it can survive without one.

Behavior

This variant of the Maroon Clownfish is known for its territorial behavior, especially around its chosen anemone. It can be aggressive towards other clownfishes and similarly sized fishes.
