Common Name: Nemo or Orange Band Clownfish
Scientific Name: Amphiprion ocellaris (A. Ocellaris)
Coloration: Bright orange with three distinctive white bands edged in black
Family Structure: Hierarchical; includes a dominant female, breeding male, and juveniles
Preferred Habitat: Traditionally lives in anemones but adapts well to coral or rock shelters

The sustainably cultured Nemo Clownfish, also known as the Orange Band Clownfish (A. Ocellaris), is a hardy and popular choice for marine aquariums. Its vibrant orange body, three bright white bands, and thin black outlines make it instantly recognizable, while its captivating stare through the glass brings a charming sense of engagement with onlookers.

In nature, Nemo Clownfish have a unique family hierarchy. Each group consists of a dominant female, with the second largest fish as the breeding male, while the others remain juveniles. If the female dies, the male transforms into the new female, and one of the juveniles steps up as the breeding male. This social structure allows them to maintain a happy and stable family unit in their small reef homes.

Although traditionally found living among sea anemones for protection and egg-laying, Nemo Clownfish adapt well to alternative shelters. They’re happy to substitute an anemone for another coral or even rock crevices. In the Living Ecosystems Aquarium, the Living Blocks Reef provides ideal hiding spots with large overhangs and an open yet protective structure, perfectly suited to their needs.

Reproduction:
Nemo Clownfish are dedicated parents. The female lays a clutch of 200-400 eggs on a flat surface near their chosen home, typically within their sheltered area. The male carefully guards and aerates the eggs by fanning them to ensure proper oxygenation. After about 6-10 days, the eggs hatch at night, releasing tiny fry into the water, which later settle and grow.
