Descripción

This clownfish has a uniform pinkish-orange body, a vertical white bar just behind the eye and another at the base of the caudal fin. The fins are translucent with a pink tint. It reaches up to 10 cm. It is a very peaceful species, even towards other clownfish, which is rare. It lives in symbiosis with Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla gigantea anemones. In an aquarium, it adapts easily and can be kept in groups. Its small size and calm temperament make it an excellent choice for reef beginners.
