About

The Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) is an anemonefish of the family Pomacentridae found in the western Pacific from the northern Great Barrier Reef to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, where it lives with host anemones on lagoon and seaward reefs at 1-15 m. Its bright orange body carries three white bars edged in thick black; it is often confused with the Ocellaris Clownfish (A. ocellaris) but has heavier black margins and deeper color, and fewer dorsal spines (9-10). Maximum length is 11 cm. Groups consist of one breeding pair plus 0-4 non-breeders in a size-based hierarchy: the largest fish is the female, the second largest the male, and if the female dies the male changes sex. In the wild the life expectancy of females has been estimated at 30 years. Care is easy: an aquarium of 114 L or more with live rock is sufficient and a host anemone is not required. Captive-bred fish are widely available, breeding is relatively easy, and tank-raised individuals are especially hardy.
