[edit] Sexing

[edit] Tank compatibility
- This Clown can be aggressive in nature so should not be kept with timid tank mates, and should not be kept in nano set-ups. An anemone is not necessary for this fish to host. It will also host other corals including Frogspawn Coral and Torch Coral. Best kept in pairs.

- Not a particularly fussy eater, it will take most flakes, mysis shrimp or krill.
[edit] Feeding regime
- Twice a day.
[edit] Environment Specifics
- A spacious tank with plenty of hiding places in live rock.
[edit] Behaviour
- Aggressive towards other fish and other unpaired clowns.
