I’ve had my Black Percula Clownfish for three months now and it’s been very active and healthy. The fish has a striking black body with clear white stripes, and it’s adapted well to my reef tank. It doesn’t seem to stress easily and stays near the anemone, which is perfect for a small tank setup.

The fish arrived quickly and looked well cared for. It’s been living with my anemone for a couple of weeks and seems to be getting along well. I appreciate the captive-bred quality—more resilient than I expected for a clownfish.
