Fire Clown
| Latin Name | Amphiprion ephippium | ||||||
| Common Name | Fire Clown | ||||||
| Also known as | Red Saddleback Clownfish, Fire Clownfish, Fire Anemonefish, Red Saddleback Anemonefish | ||||||
| Fast Facts | This beauty is bright reddish-orange overall, with a black saddle on the back. Younger specimens (shown) may have a white bar on the side of the head. While this can be a durable aquarium inhabitant, they ship poorly and very susceptible to Clownfish Disease (Brooklynella hostilis). This can be an aggressive fish that should not be kept with smaller, more passive tankmates. Naturally occurs in Bubbletip and Sebae Anemones.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a restricted species and is not covered by our live arrival guarantee. Although clownfish can be hardy, they ship poorly and are very susceptible to Clownfish Disease (Brooklynella hostilis). |
