Orange Clownfish

Orange Clownfish - Description

The Orange Clownfish is also known as the Percula Clownfish, True Percula Clownfish and Blackfinned Clownfish.

It has a mutually symbiotic relationship with the Sea Anemone so it is vital  to place them in pairs with a sea anemone so they can mimic their natural habitat. Like other Clownfish, they are sequential hermaphrodites which means that are initially all male.

As they mature, they can develop into females. For example: If a female from the group dies, one of the dominant males will change into a female!
