The Black Clarkii Clownfish is a bold and hardy variation of the classic Clarkii Clown, featuring a deep black body contrasted by bright white bars and yellow highlights on the fins. Captive-bred specimens are especially valued for their resilience, adaptability, and strong feeding response, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of marine aquariums.
Clarkii Clownfish are known for their confident personalities and adaptability to many different tank environments. They are among the most anemone-tolerant clownfish species and will readily host a wide variety of anemones, though an anemone is not required for their health or well-being.
This species is ideal for aquarists seeking a durable, character-rich clownfish that performs well in both reef and fish-only systems.
