Saltwater Fish
Lightning Maroon.
A prized maroon clownfish strain webbed with lightning-bolt white markings over deep red. Hardy but feisty — maroons grow large and get territorial — so give it space and tankmates that can hold their own. Reef-safe and a real showpiece clown.

Good tank mates
Maroon clownfish are the largest and most aggressive clowns, and a settled female will bully most things her size or smaller, so house her with bolder, sturdy tankmates like tangs, larger wrasses, and dwarf angels rather than timid or slow fish. Keep only one maroon clown or a bonded male-female pair per tank, never two unpaired adults; do not add other clownfish species, as she will likely attack them. She is reef safe and will not harm corals or most cleanup-crew inverts.
Good to know
The Lightning Maroon's lightning-bolt webbing of white striping arose from a single wild fish collected in Papua New Guinea and was painstakingly line-bred from that founder into the captive strain hobbyists keep today.
