Description
The Black True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) is a bold and striking variety of the popular Percula Clownfish. Its deep black and white banding, contrasted with an orange face and fins, makes it a standout in any marine aquarium. Known for its peaceful temperament, this species is an ideal choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
Native to coral reefs, this Clownfish is reef compatible and coexists well with a variety of corals and invertebrates. It forms a symbiotic relationship with host anemones, though it will thrive without one as well. The Black True Percula Clownfish is hardy and easy to care for, making it perfect for both smaller reef tanks and larger community aquariums.
As an omnivore, it will eat a variety of meaty foods and herbivore preparations. A well-balanced diet of frozen or prepared foods, along with occasional live food, is recommended to maintain its vibrant coloration and overall health.
