Like any other clown fish they are relatively easy to acclimate, readily take food, grow really well, are active swimmers unless hosting a anenome or coral, there are really no tank requirements for these guys,can be aggressive with other tank mates and are very territorial.

| Liked about it |
mine was a swimmer, when the lights were on the fish was always swimming about. it also hosted a pumping xenia which was rather silly but it was neat to watch the fish bring the coral food. mine fish also doubled in size in a year.

Maroon Clown
| General |
Carl(my clown) was my very first fish to survive all the mistakes I made. He is awesome, but he has been a little agressive to smaller fish that I have added, but always calms down. I will always have a maroon in my tanks. |
| Liked about it |
Very Hardy, colorful, and easy to care for

Great clown for the larger or more agressive tank
| General |
These are bigger then a lot of the other clowns. They can be very agressive which is great if you are adding them with other agressive fish. These however can get quiet big for clowns so I wouldnt advice that you try to add a pair to a nano system as I have seen some people try to do. Still a great fish with all the clown behavior. |

Thought on Maroon Clowns
| General |
When my Yellow Wrasse(also refered to as a coris wrasse) would wake up @ night my female would case him if he came near the left hand side of the tank she would chase him. I feed my mated pair a combination of Mysis shrimp(which they show little interest in),and Ocean Nutrition formula two marine pellets(they dart after these). I have a aquacultured pair i bought as juveniles from petco no signs of hosting. Only close display of hosting is the male wiggles on the silicone strip in the back of the tank. |

Mine was named Emmitt
| General |
a good, fairly tough fish. mine was very hardy and easily weathered my newbie mistakes. mine would swim at all levels of the tank and was not a picky eater it would beg for food and look very cute doing so, it also left my corals alone.
if i were to set up a tank where a clownfish would be happy, i would get another white stripe maroon. |
| Liked about it |
energetic fish, nice contrasting colors, cute appearance, hardy and easy to feed.
|
| Didn't like |
they can be awfully aggressive at times
