Maroon Clownfish Medium Size (Premnas biaculeatus)

Maroon clownfish care is easy. The fish, also known as premnas biaculeatus, are found in the Indo-Pacific region. They often hide amongst coral and anemones to avoid predators, but may also be seen swimming among seagrasses or on top of rocks and other hard surfaces from time to time. Maroon Clownfish are usually bright orange with various black or white markings along their body that make them easy to spot.

Maroon Clownfish have a symbiotic relationship with anemones in the wild and are known for being able to recognize when their host is threatened, at which point, they will aggressively defend it by biting nearby predators. This defense mechanism may be what led scientists to believe that Maroon Clownfish could possibly eat algae off of anemones.
