Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus)
The Maroon Clownfish is one of the largest and most striking species of clownfish, easily recognized by its deep maroon body and contrasting golden or white stripes. Bold and territorial, it is best suited for aquarists seeking a hardy centerpiece fish with plenty of personality. When paired with a suitable host anemone, it forms a fascinating symbiotic relationship that adds natural behavior to the aquarium.
Size: Typically grows up to 6 inches in length
Country of Origin: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including areas around Indonesia and northern Australia
Latin Name: Premnas biaculeatus
Care Level: Moderate – thrives in a stable marine environment but requires careful consideration of tank mates due to its aggressive nature
Maroon Clownfish are omnivores that accept a wide variety of foods, including marine pellets, frozen preparations, and meaty items such as mysis shrimp. While they are reef-safe, their territorial behavior makes them best kept singly or as a mated pair. With proper care, they are long-lived, resilient, and bring both color and character to marine aquariums.
