Received the tomato clownfish in good condition. It’s active and colorful, though it does show signs of aggression toward smaller fish. I have a 30-gallon tank with plenty of hiding spots, which helps manage its behavior. Works well in a reef setup with proper spacing.

The fish arrived quickly and looks healthy. I’ve noticed it’s more active than other clownfish I’ve seen. It’s not the most peaceful, but it’s a striking addition to my tank. I recommend pairing it with larger, non-susceptible species.

It’s a nice-looking fish, but I had to add extra space and avoid small invertebrates. The aggression is noticeable, especially during feeding. Still, it’s a good choice for a beginner with a larger tank.
