The Clarkii Clownfish arrived healthy and active. It has been in my 55-gallon saltwater tank for three months and has developed its full coloration. The white stripes are very distinct and the fish is very curious. I’ve noticed it interacts well with other non-aggressive fish.

It’s a beautiful fish with a vibrant appearance. The juvenile stage was bright yellow with clear white stripes. After a few months, it turned into the reddish-brown adult form with orange forehead. It’s easy to care for and stays calm in the tank.

I bought this fish to add color to my reef tank. It has adapted well and is now a regular part of the tank community. The color change from yellow to adult red-brown is impressive and natural-looking.
