The Fire Clown is a very beautiful species with its dark red color and even darker red patch on its side. These fish are the only clowns that lack a head stripe. The Fire Clown does not need an Anemone to survive, but will accept many different Anemones as its host, including corals. Its favorite Anemone is the Bubble Tip Anemones or Long Tentacle Anemone as its host. These fish will accept most fish foods and are perfect for reef tanks.
