Sebae Clownfish
Veterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc.

The Sebae Clownfish, also known as Seba's Anemonefish, is brown with wide white stripes and an orange head. The anal fin is yellow, and it has a white to yellow tail.

A 30 gallon or larger aquarium is desirable for the Sebae Clownfish. It is semi-aggressive towards conspecifics unless it is one of a mated pair. It is very hardy.

Tank raised clownfish are very hardy and durable fish making them a perfect addition for the novice or seasoned aquarist. If introduced to the aquarium at the same time, many varieties of tank raised clowns can be maintained together in the aquarium.

The Sebae Clownfish will eat almost anything it is fed, but the diet should include meaty food items such as chopped shrimp and herbivore preparations.
