About Two Banded Clownfish

General information

A beautiful Clown that is yellow-orange in color with a white vertical band behind its head and at mid-body. It is very similar in appearance to the Clarkii Clown, but the Bicinctus lack the white vertical band at the base of their tail. This fish is the most prevalent Clownfish in the Red Sea. The Bicinctus Clown does not need an Anemone to survive but will accept Bubble Tip, Sebae, Long Tentacle and Carpet Anemones as its host, as well as corals. These fish will accept most fish foods and are perfect for reef tanks. Clownfish have a very distinct swimming motion that is different from most fish. This is likely passed on through their genetic makeup from centuries of wiggling within the tentacles of Anemones.
