| Temperament: | Aggressive; This clown is one of the most aggressive of the clown species and should be the last fish added to your tank because of aggression issues. Should not have more than one unless it is a mated pair. |
| Diet: | Ominvore; It`s diet needs to consist of meaty foods like Mysis and vitamin fortified Brine. It will also feed off herbivore foods like dried seaweed or nori. |
| Care: | Because of their aggressive nature you should add them last or they will harass fish that are added after themselves. They are pretty easy to care for and not picky eaters. They like to have an anenome to host but it is not guaranteed they will host it. Mine host a bubble coral and ignores the BTA. |
