Clownfish hosting in a Gigantea anemone

May 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments

  Here are a few pictures of my percula clownfish hosting in my gigantea anemone.  I have had my female clownfish for almost five years now and she has been hosting in this anemone for about four and a half years.  She used to have a male counterpart (bottom picture) but my reef tank suffered a case of Ich a couple of years back and unfortunately he did not make it.

  Here’s a quick tip to determine if your clownfish is a percula or an ocellaris (false) clownfish.  The percula will have ten spines in the first dorsal fin and the ocellaris will have eleven spines.
