GoldXLightning Maroon (Amphiprion biaculeatus)

Description:
The Lightning Maroon is a naturally occurring designer clownfish. They feature unique patterns that resemble lightning bolts. Their coloration will darken and the patterns often intensify as the fish matures.

Natural ecology:
This variant of Premnas biaculeatus is only rarely found in the wild.

Behavior:
Like all clownfish, Premnas biaculeatus is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become a breeding female. The next largest fish will become a breeding male. The female will not tolerate other smaller individuals.

Compatibility:
Generally ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfish sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.

Food:
Reefsolution specimens have been weaned onto aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and chopped squid will be readily accepted.
