Aquacultured Mocha Clownfish
Aquacultured Mocha Clowns have warm colorations of dark orange and sport the iconic three bands. Their faces are a brighter orange compared to their body. They will very likely choose a host anemone fairly quickly (just avoid condylactis). In one of the neatest displays of symbiotic behavior that you can see in a home aquarium, the clownfish provides food and a cleaning service for the anemone, which in turn protects the clownfish. They are an excellent addition to just about any aquarium as they are very hardy and accustomed to captivity. This clown is reef safe, will eat processed foods and can be added in small groups. Clownfish are known to change their sex to increase their chance of reproduction and genetic diversity in the wild. A school of clowns are built on a hierachy with the female on top, so the largest clown in a school is always the female. If the female dies, a male will change their sex to take her place. The Mocha Clown will grow to be about 3" in size.
