Saltwater Fish
Maroon Clownfish.
The largest and feistiest of the clownfish — deep maroon crossed with white or gold bands. Hardy but territorial, so give it room and tankmates that can stand up to it. Reef-safe and a bold, long-lived centerpiece clown.

Good tank mates
The maroon is the largest and most aggressive of the clownfishes, and it is best kept as the dominant fish or in a single bonded pair, never with other clownfish species. It works in tanks with similarly sturdy fish that can hold their own, but it will harass smaller, timid, or slow tankmates and may claim and defend a large territory. It is reef-safe with corals and invertebrates, but plan its tankmates carefully and ask the staff if you are mixing it with peaceful community fish.
Good to know
Maroon clownfish show extreme size difference between the sexes, with the dominant female growing much larger than her mate, and they are recognized by the white or gold head bars over a deep maroon body.
