Description:
The True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) is a vibrant saltwater species closely resembling the Ocellaris Clownfish but distinguished by its richer orange coloration and thicker black margins around its white bands. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this species is highly sought after for its striking appearance and engaging behaviors. Hardy and adaptable, it is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced marine aquarists. While it may form a symbiotic bond with anemones, it can thrive without one, making it a fantastic addition to any reef or marine aquarium.

Care Level:
Ease: Moderate. Slightly more sensitive than Ocellaris Clownfish.

Water Conditions:

  • Salinity: 1.020–1.025 specific gravity.
  • pH: 8.1–8.4.
  • Temperature: 74–79°F (23–26°C).

Tank Requirements:

  • Minimum tank size: 20 gallons.
  • Prefers live rock, caves, and open swimming space.
  • Requires stable water parameters and regular maintenance.

Temperament:
Behavior: Peaceful and social but may become territorial, especially in pairs or when guarding an anemone.

Compatibility:

  • Pairs well with other peaceful reef-safe species like gobies, blennies, and small wrasses.
  • Avoid aggressive fish or species that may harass or outcompete them for space.

Size:
Adult Length: 3 inches (7–8 cm).
Growth: Females are typically larger and more dominant than males.

Reef Compatibility:

  • 100% reef-safe.
  • Will not harm corals or invertebrates.
  • May form a symbiotic bond with host anemones (e.g., Bubble Tip Anemone), but anemones are not required.

Additional Notes:
True Percula Clownfish are omnivorous and thrive on a diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp. Captive-bred specimens are highly recommended as they are more accustomed to aquarium life, easier to care for, and environmentally sustainable. With proper care, these fish can live up to 10 years or more, making them a long-term highlight of any marine aquarium.
