Behavior, husbandry & the right anemone

Like all clownfish, the Amphiprion polymnus shows its most beautiful and natural behavior when living with a suitable host anemone.

 The perfect home: In nature, the Saddleback Anemonefish prefers the carpet anemone (Stichodactyla haddoni), but in the aquarium, it often accepts other robust species such as the bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor).

 Social behavior: We strongly recommend keeping them as a pair. In juvenile fish, the dominant animal automatically develops into a female, while the smaller one remains the male. They lovingly defend their anemone but are generally peaceful towards other tank inhabitants.

 Bottom proximity: Compared to other clownfish, the Saddleback prefers to stay closer to the bottom, often directly in or above its anemone in the sand area.
