About

Clark's Clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) is one of the most widely distributed clownfish in the world, found from the Persian Gulf to the Western Pacific. Its striking two-toned body — ranging from yellow-orange to near-black depending on locality — and bold white bars make it immediately eye-catching. Exceptionally hardy and adaptable, it will readily accept a wide range of host anemone species in captivity.

Care Guide

An excellent beginner clownfish that tolerates a range of water conditions better than many other Amphiprion. Feed a varied omnivore diet twice daily. Keep as a mated pair with a suitable host anemone such as Heteractis crispa, Stichodactyla mertensii, or similar. May become more territorial when guarding eggs.
