I love this fish, it has an explosive personality and it looks really cool! This is a clownfish but it is a bit more feisty. Great colors and a lot of personality! This was my first fish and he is so cool!

My personal favorite looking clownfish. Can and will bite you if you put your hand in the tank. Id recommend a larger tank if pairing with other fish.
