The cinnamon clownfish arrived healthy and vibrant. It’s active and colors stand out in the tank. I’ve kept it in a 30-gallon reef tank with care, and it’s not aggressive toward other fish, though it does defend its space. Good for a beginner with proper setup.

It’s a beautiful fish with a unique color pattern. I noticed it’s more territorial than expected, so I made sure to keep it with larger, non-susceptible species. It’s active and adds visual interest to the tank.

The fish looks nice and is easy to maintain. However, it’s quite aggressive and chased a small shrimp. I recommend keeping it in a larger tank with strong tank mates.
