Red Saddleback Clownfish
Amphiprion polymnus
Red Morph • Captive Bred
Rarity
Uncommon
The Red Saddleback Clownfish is a beautiful warm-toned morph of the Saddleback Clownfish. It displays a rich reddish-orange to rusty-brown body with the signature broad white “saddle” bar across the mid-body and a thick white bar behind the eye. This striking color variant is highly appreciated for its vibrant base color and classic saddle patterning. Larger and more robust than many other clownfish, it makes a bold focal point in reef aquariums. Captive-bred specimens are hardy, active, and well-suited for breeding programs.
