Percula Clownfish Anemone Disease

Percula Clownfish Anemone Disease

The tankraised clowns can be more resistant to aquarium diseases like Oodinium that can affect clownfish and other tank residents. Ocellaris Clownfish will typically bond with Long-tentacled, Carpet, or Bubble-tip Anemones, though tankraised fish may not bond immediately with host anemones.

Tanks with insufficient light and insufficient anemone feeding will often see them wither away after a few months. They prefer saltwater higher in specific gravity. Aim for water in the 1.023 - 1.025 range.

Beware that anemones that are dying are believed to release toxins into the water that can harm or even kill tank inhabitants.
