These clownfish are active and colorful. They adapted well to my 20-gallon marine tank. The orange coloration is brighter than expected. I’ve kept them for six months and they’re still healthy and active.

Great addition to my reef tank. They seem to get along with the anemone I have. The black lines are thinner than I expected, which makes them look more vibrant. Easy to care for.

Ordered a pair and they arrived quickly. They settled into the tank within a week. The colors are vivid and they stay near the anemone, which is perfect for a natural look.
