The Red Saddle Clown has a very different look for a clownfish, lacking the usual clownfish striping this fish has a solid orange body color with a large dark patch on each side. While it may look different from other clowns, its behavior is very similar with the usual inter species territorial behavior and also its easy care. Clownfish have gained a high level of popularity in the saltwater hobby because of their hardiness and abundance of personality. They will form shoals in the home aquarium with the two dominant fish becoming a pair. The largest Clown is typically the terminal female, the next largest the male, and the others remain Juveniles. This fish is an omnivore and will accept a wide variety of frozen and dry marine foods.
