Description
The Mauritian Clown, with its striking appearance, is a popular choice among marine aquarium enthusiasts. Characterized by a deep black body adorned with vibrant blue and yellow stripes, this fish adds a bold splash of color to any reef setup.
Semi-aggressive in nature, the Mauritian Clown tends to be territorial, especially towards similar species. It’s best housed in a tank of at least 30 gallons, equipped with plenty of hiding spots and live rock to help reduce stress and aggression.
As an omnivore, it thrives on a varied diet that includes high-quality flake foods, pellets, and frozen or live foods like brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Providing a well-rounded diet will help maintain its health and stunning coloration. With proper care and the right environment, the Mauritian Clown can be a lively and beautiful addition to your aquarium.
