The Maldives Skunk Clownfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to my 30-gallon reef tank. It’s colorful and stays near the anemone, which is a nice sight. Only a bit territorial with a smaller shrimp, but otherwise peaceful.
Irene King –
Great addition to my tank. The fish is vibrant and stays active. I noticed it’s slightly more active during the day. Tank size is adequate, and it’s compatible with my corals.

This clownfish has been thriving for three months. It’s very active and shows interest in the feeding area. I appreciate the clear size range provided. Easy to spot in the tank.
