Tomato Clown

About this fish

Tomato Clown (Amphiprion frenatus) is a clownfish for the home saltwater aquarium, known for its bold personality and reef-friendly behavior. It’s commonly kept as a showpiece fish and can add active, host-seeking behavior to your setup. While clownfish do not require an anemone, many individuals will naturally associate with a suitable host—such as certain anemones or sometimes corals—depending on what’s available in the tank.

Features:

• Clownfish are classic reef fish that are generally hardy in properly maintained marine aquariums
• Wild-caught Tomato Clown brings established marine fish behavior into the home aquarium
• Do not need an anemone to thrive; hosting behavior may occur if compatible options are present
• Best kept in a compatible pair; clownfish can be territorial toward their own kind
• Reef safe with most peaceful community fish when tank conditions are stable
• Easily fed a varied diet including frozen foods and quality pellets
