Amphiprion perideraion, also known as the Skunk Clownfish, shows a glowing tan to pink coloured body with a vertical narrow white stripe behind its head. Another narrow white stripe from its snout that runs along the entire length of its back and can grow up to 15cm in length.
Amphiprion Clownfish should be added to a well-established aquarium with plenty of rock work and swimming area. Also known as anemonefish they are hardy, reef safe and easy to care for. They are also one of the most popular marine aquarium inhabitants. Anemonefish create a symbiotic relationship with anemones. Anemonefish are dependent on anemones for shelter and protection and provide food and cleaning services to the anemone. They can be a bit territorial over their host anemone. Females are larger than the males and are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning the juveniles mature into males but may reproduce as females later in life. Anemonefish should be fed a diet of meaty and herbivore-based foods.
