Amphiprion Ocellaris - False Percula Clown - Tank Bred
The Amphiprion Ocellaris - False Percula Clown (Tank Bred) is a spectacular centerpiece for the modern reef aquarium, known for its brilliant coloration and sophisticated social behavior. Characterized by a vibrant orange body and three strikingly white vertical bands outlined in thin black margins, this species is a masterclass in reef aesthetics. In the "Answering Machine" era of saltwater husbandry, the False Percula Clown is highly prized for its peaceful temperament, legendary hardiness, and its ability to cohabit beautifully with other peaceful reef residents and hosting anemones.
Unlike many wild-caught species, these Tank Bred specimens are acclimated to aquarium life from day one, making them more resilient and environmentally sustainable. They are active swimmers that typically hover near their chosen territory or host, providing a constant display of color and classic movement that has made them the most iconic fish in the hobby.

Quick Specs
Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Minimum Tank Size: 20 Gallons
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Compatible: Yes
Max Size: 3.5 Inches
Water Conditions: 72 to 78°F, dKH 8 to 12, pH 8.1 to 8.4, sg 1.020 to 1.025
Husbandry Notes
The False Percula Clown is an ideal candidate for any community reef tank or nano setup. While they are famous for their symbiotic relationship with anemones like the Bubble Tip (Entacmaea quadricolor), they do not require one to thrive and will often host in corals or specific rockwork. They are high-metabolism fish and should be fed a varied diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen meaty foods—such as mysis and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp—at least twice daily. Being tank-bred, they are generally less aggressive and more social than their wild counterparts, but only one pair should be kept per tank unless the system is large enough to support multiple territories.
