Care Notes:
Gladiator Clownfish are a unique and striking morph of the Amphiprion ocellaris, known for their bold and dramatic patterning. These clownfish typically feature a bright orange body with thick, dark black stripes that resemble the bold lines of a gladiator’s armor, making them stand out in any reef tank. Gladiator Clownfish are hardy, peaceful, and easy to care for, making them suitable for beginner and intermediate aquarists. As omnivores, they thrive on a diet of high-quality pellets, frozen brine shrimp, mysis, and algae. They do not require an anemone to survive but may form a symbiotic relationship with one in the wild. Gladiator Clownfish are generally peaceful but can become territorial, particularly with other clownfish. They do best in tanks with stable water conditions, good filtration, and plenty of hiding spots.
