Clownfish Care and Clown Fish Information

Anemone Clownfish

 When people say that they are looking for an anemone clown fish there could be a lot of different fish that they could be talking about. To list a few there are the Percula clown, Ocellaris “False Percula”, Maroon, Gold stripe, Tomato, Sebae, and the Clarkii clownfish just to list a few. All of them live in anemone’s in the wild and that is where they get their name.

 Some of the more pouplar clownfish anemone’s they live in are:Bubble anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor), Long tentacle anemone ( Macrodactyla doreensis), Sebae anemone ( Heteractis malu), Ritteri (Maroon) anemone ( Heteractis magnifica), Carpet anemone ( Stichodactyla gigantea), Saddle anemone ( Stichodactyla haddoni).

One thing to keep in mind when getting a clownfish is if you get one that is tank raised is that they do not need an anemone to live and breed in the home aquarium. Since in most tanks you want have any fish that would harm the fish or the eggs. They will also take to and host on other coarls in your tank that are easier to raise and care for. So make sure you do your homework on them before you bring one home.
