The True Sebae Clownfish arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 40-gallon tank with a Bubbletip anemone. The black body and white stripes are very distinct. Very easy to care for and stays calm around other fish.

We kept it with a few other captive-bred clowns and they all got along. The fish is hardy and shows no signs of stress. The coloration is vibrant and matches the description perfectly.

First time keeping a clownfish and this one was a great choice. It’s active but not aggressive. The anemone is now fully hosting it, and it’s a joy to watch.
