Cinnamon Clownfish (Amphiprion melanopus)

$29.95

Product Description

The Cinnamon Clownfish, also known as the Black Anemonefish, Red and Black Anemonefish, or the Red and Black Clownfish, has a reddish-brown base color with a white stripe behind the eyes, and a dark area, which may vary in dimension, on the side. Orange dominates the dorsal, caudal, and pectoral fins, as well as the face.

A 30 gallon or larger aquarium that has no other clownfish is desirable. It is semi-aggressive towards other clownfish and passive tank mates. An anemone host such as Bubbletip (Entacmaea quadricolor) or Leathery (Heteractis crispa) is preferred, but not required.

The Cinnamon Clownfish diet consists of meaty items as well as herbivore preparations.
