It may be kept in small groups and will benefit from a host anemone. They may form relationships with the following species of anemones; Carpet (Stichodactyla sp. ), Sebae (Heteractis crispa), or Ritteri (Heteractis magnifica).

Clownfish are egg layers and will deposit the eggs on a flat surface and defend the eggs from other tank mates. The eggs will normally hatch in 8-11 days depending on the water temperature. The fry must be reared in a separate aquarium on a diet of rotifers followed by baby brine shrimp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Black Saddleback Clownfish diet consists of almost any meaty food items and herbivore preparations.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare level\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eModerate\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSemi-aggressive\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet\u003c\/strong\u003e: Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatible\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pomacentridae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saltwater Pros Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986117161200,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/7482\/5712\/files\/saddle.jpg?v=1751499721","url":"https:\/\/shop.saltwaterreef.ca\/products\/black-saddleback-clownfish","provider":"Saltwater Pros Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
