The Maroon Clownfish is a good candidate for a reef aquarium. The Maroon Clownfish are the most territorial and largest of all clownfish species. Maroon Clownfish are very sensitive to elevated levels of copper.
The females will be the largest of the pair, and two fish will usually stay close to each other in the aquarium. These fish are egg layers and will deposit the eggs on a flat surface, and defend the eggs from other tank mates. The eggs will normally hatch in 6-11 days depending on the temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers then baby brine shrimp.
The Maroon Clownfish diet consists of chopped meaty items such as frozen shrimp, pellet and flake foods.
