Premnas Clownfish should be added to a well established aquarium with plenty of rock work and swimming area. Also known as anemonefish they are hardy, reef safe and easy to care for. Premnas Clownfish create a symbiotic relationship with bulb anemones specifically the species entacmaea quadricolor. Anemonefish are dependant on anemones for shelter and protection and provide food and cleaning services to the anemone. Known as the most aggresive of the anemonefish, Premnas Clownfish are territorial and will chase neighbors away from their host anemone. Females are larger than the males and are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning the juveniles mature into males but may reproduce as females later in life. Anemonefish should be fed a diet of meaty and herbivore-based foods. Avoid using nets as the cheekspines may become entangled. Premnas Clownfish should not be exposed to copper levels near or above .15.
The Lightning Maroon Clownfish are overall maroon with the remarkable "lightning" patterns. Each fish will have its own unique patterns and shapes. The female Lightning Maroon Clownfish can grow up to 15cm with males only reaching 8cm in length.
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 100L or larger for this species.
