Ocellaris clown hosting in a
stinging frog spawn coral.
I currently have 4 breeding pairs of clownfish: 2 pairs of ocellaris (false percula), 1 pair of black and white ocellaris, and 1 pair of gold striped maroon clownfish.
Clownfish are native to the Pacific Ocean are also referred to as anemonefish because they commonly host with anemones or stinging corals. Clownfish are able to withstand stings from anemones or other corals. The anemones provide safe habitat for the clowns, while the clownfish will feed their hosts.
Clownfish lay eggs on any flat surface close to or under protection of their host anemones. These eggs are cared for by the male and hatched under complete darkness after a period of 7 to 10 days. Incubation times vary by species.
I also have a pair of orchid dottybacks that are not yet spawning and a pair of spawning blue neon gobies. My main focus is rearing clownfish. Visit my Gallery for some pictures of juvenile clownfish and my brood stock.
