{"product_id":"saddleback-clownfish","title":"Saddleback Clownfish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Saddleback Clownfish, *Amphiprion polymnus*, is a captivating and hardy species of clownfish, easily recognized by its striking coloration. Its body is primarily a deep, velvety black, contrasted by two broad, vertical white or yellowish bands. The first band is located just behind the eye, and the second, often wider and saddle-shaped, is positioned mid-body, extending onto the dorsal fin. The snout and sometimes the belly can be a vibrant orange or yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 30 gallons is recommended for a single Saddleback Clownfish, with larger tanks needed for pairs or groups. They are well-suited for reef aquariums and are known to host with a variety of anemone species, including the Sebae Anemone (*Heteractis crispa*), Bubble Tip Anemone (*Entacmaea quadricolor*), and Magnificent Sea Anemone (*Heteractis magnifica*). Providing a suitable host anemone is beneficial for their well-being and natural behavior, though they can thrive without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the home aquarium, the Saddleback Clownfish typically reaches a size of 4-5 inches. They are omnivorous and readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, and marine algae. Feeding small amounts multiple times a day is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all clownfish, the Saddleback Clownfish is a protandrous hermaphrodite, meaning all individuals are born male and the largest fish in a group will transition into a female. Breeding in captivity is possible and has been achieved by experienced aquarists. There are no readily apparent visual differences between males and females, other than size in a pair or group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amphiprion polymnus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075641139489,"sku":"TT-6171-S","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075641172257,"sku":"TT-6171-M","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075641205025,"sku":"TT-6171-L","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/Saddleback-Clownfish-7.jpg?v=1784977669","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/saddleback-clownfish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
