The Ocellaris Clownfish is one of the most recognizable and widely kept marine fish in the aquarium hobby. Known for its bright orange coloration with clean white bars outlined in black, this species is peaceful, hardy, and well suited for a wide range of aquarium setups.
Captive-bred Ocellaris Clownfish are especially desirable due to their adaptability, strong disease resistance, and readiness to accept prepared foods. They are reef-safe, compatible with most community fish, and do not require an anemone to thrive—though they may host one or even coral substitutes if available.
This species is an excellent choice for beginners while remaining a staple favorite among experienced reef keepers.
