The **Maroon Clownfish** is known for its size and assertive nature. This species features a predominantly deep red body accented by three distinct vertical white bands.
Reaching up to 6 inches when fully grown, the **Maroon Clownfish** requires a minimum tank size of 29 gallons. Known for their aggressive demeanor, they can coexist with larger, more aggressive fish but will be particularly hostile towards other clownfish unless they are a bonded pair.
These clownfish often find refuge in certain anemones, which offer protection from larger predators. The **Maroon Clownfish** is immune to anemone stings, which can deter other fish from approaching.
When handling, avoid using nets as they can cause injury. Instead, use an acrylic container for safe transfer. As carnivores, they thrive on a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis and brine shrimp, small seafood pieces, and high-quality frozen, pellet, and flake foods. They are voracious eaters and not selective.
