🎨 Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus)

 Bold Personality • Striking Color • Captive-Bred Available

 

The Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) is a bold and vibrant saltwater fish known for its deep maroon to red coloration and striking golden or white body stripes. As one of the largest and most territorial clownfish species, it makes a commanding centerpiece in any saltwater aquarium.

This species thrives in well-established marine tanks with plenty of live rock, swimming space, and optional anemone hosts. Maroon Clownfish are reef-safe, though they can be territorial—especially when hosting an anemone or paired with a mate.

Captive-bred specimens are often more adaptable and slightly less aggressive than wild-caught varieties. Their hardiness and stunning appearance make them ideal for hobbyists looking for a clownfish with personality and presence.
