About the Ocellaris Clownfish

Ocellaris clownfish are the most popular marine fish for good reason. Ours are captive-bred, so they are already eating pellets and frozen foods and are used to aquarium life.

They stay small, get along with most reef fish, and may host in an anemone or even a soft coral. Keep a single fish or a pair; the larger one will become the female.
