Bella Kelly –
The SA Ruby Clown is a striking addition to my reef tank. Its vibrant red fins stand out against the dark body. It’s active and seems to enjoy the anemones it shares its space with. Very healthy after a few weeks.
John Duncan –
I’ve had this fish for about two months now. It’s calm and stays near the anemone. The coloration is true to the description, especially the red fins. A bit shy at first but now it’s exploring more.
Yvonne Wilson –
The fish arrived quickly and is thriving. It’s very active and interacts well with the anemones. The dark body and pale bar are clearly visible. I’m happy with the quality and care instructions provided.
