Amphiprion clarkii, Bennett, 1830
Alongside the species Amphiprion ocellaris, A. frenatus and Amphiprion percula, this is the species most commonly found in the trade. In the normal color form shown here and in a melanistic (black) color form.
Here, too, you should only use captive-bred specimens. They are simply more stable and thus support the further breeding of the animal, and as breeding is possible, it is of course advisable to keep them as a pair and not individually.
Amphiprion clarkii can live up to 11 years.
