Care Notes:
Captive bred Black & White Longfin Clownfish are hardy, peaceful, and easy to care for, making them a great choice for beginner and intermediate hobbyists. They are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet of pellets, frozen brine shrimp, mysis, and some vegetable matter. These clownfish are less aggressive than their wild counterparts and can adapt well to tank life. Though they don’t require an anemone to survive, they may host one in a tank for added security. They are peaceful but can become territorial with other clownfish. They do well in community tanks with other reef-safe species and enjoy tanks with plenty of hiding spots and good water quality.
