Maroon Clownfish

Maroon Clownfish (Amphiprion biaculeatus) is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its deep maroon to red coloration, bold white or gold stripes, larger size compared to other clownfish, and unique dominance hierarchy. Males typically stay smaller (around 3–4 inches), are less dominant, and take on the submissive role in a pair, while females/juveniles grow larger (up to ~6 inches), become the dominant member, and can be highly territorial and aggressive. They reach about 6 inches in adulthood and should be housed in aquariums of at least 55 gallons.

Provide live rock with hiding spots, some open swimming space, and optionally a host anemone or coral substitute, stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020–1.025, temp ~72–79°F, pH ~8.1–8.4), and a secure lid since many species are prone to jumping. Diet should consist of a varied mix of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, high-quality pellets, and occasional algae-based foods. With proper care, this fish makes a bold and eye-catching addition to the aquarium.

International Aquatics Quarantine & Guarantee: All fish are checked by marine vets, given a formalin bath, and held for 14 days in copper-treated systems. We feed Selcon-soaked food with Kanaplex and Metroplex during quarantine. Unless marked, all livestock comes with our 15-Day Guarantee. You will receive a video of your fish eating before shipment. On request, we also send photos/videos after arrival at IA. Some species are import-to-order (3-10 business days). Many common species are already cleared or near the end of QT.

Several species will be import-to-order and may take anywhere from 3-10 business days to secure. Once your fish is secured, you will be notified, and the quarantine process will then begin.
