The black Clarkii clownfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to my tank without an anemone. Very easy to care for and shows vibrant coloration. Great addition to my reef setup.

I was worried about compatibility, but this fish pairs well with my bubble-tip anemone. It’s active and doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants. A solid choice for a beginner.
Sonia Newman –
The fish is hardy and has stayed healthy for over two months. It doesn’t need an anemone, which is a relief. A bit shy at first but now it’s exploring the tank regularly.
