Clarkii Clownfish

Amphiprion clarkii

Clark's Anemonefish is one of the most adaptable clownfish, occurring naturally in association with more anemone species than any other clown — up to 10 different hosts. It displays a variable but striking coloration of black, white, and yellow that intensifies with age. Hardy, peaceful toward non-clownfish, and relatively easy to breed in captivity.
