Taxonomic Stuff you know you Care About

• Family: Pomacentridae

• Genus: Amphiprion

• Species: clarkii

Behavior

They are fairly aggressive, though not as mean as a Maroon.

Feeding

They will eat most anything, so feeding is no problem. I like to mix it up with one day formula one, next day formula two, next day mysis shrimp and next day plankton.

Breeding

Social Structure

Like many other clown fishes, A.clarkii presents a matriarchal social structure, with one female being dominant and many other males being subservient, while establishing an order of dominance between them with the biggest male usually with mating rights. The female is usually the larger of the family. Like many other clown fishes, the clarkii clowns start life as immature males and the larger of them becomes the female.
