Ocellaris clownfish

Amphiprion ocellaris

Description:

Amphiprion ocellaris, also known as the Ocellaris Clownfish, False Percula Clownfish or Common clownfish, is a marine fish belonging to the family Pomacentridae which gathers clownfishes and damselfishes.

Habitat:

In nature, the false percula clownfish will host Heteractis magnifica and Stichodactyla gigantea. However, in captivity in a reef aquarium, the false percula will host other species of anemone, including Entacmaea quadricolor. In addition, clownfish may adopt a surrogate host as opposed to an anemone, such as Euphyllia divisa, xenia coral, etc.
