From our species guide
In plain words: The cinnamon clownfish is a red and black clownfish. It has one wide white stripe on its head, just behind the eye. Its belly fins are black. Its name means black feet! It lives on reefs in the west part of the Pacific Ocean.
The cinnamon clownfish has a deep red body, dark mahogany sides and one bright white bar behind the eye. It is hardy, eats frozen and prepared foods readily, and often settles into a bubble-tip anemone if you offer one. Adults reach about 4 to 5 inches and grow territorial with age, so keep one pair in a 30-gallon or larger tank and skip other clownfish.
