About Maroon Clownfish
The Maroon Clownfish is an anemone fish with a maximum body size of 6.7 inches. This saltwater fish forms a mutual symbiosis with sea anemones, unaffected by its host's stinging tentacles. Maroon Clownfish males can turn into females if the only breeding female dies. Meanwhile, the natural food for this stripe-patterned fish is zooplankton and algae.
