Oman (Brick Red) Clownfish
Amphiprion omanensis
Oman Endemic • Captive Bred
Rarity
Rare
The Oman Clownfish, often called the Brick Red Clownfish due to its deep, rich reddish-orange to brick-red coloration, is a striking and highly sought-after species. It features bold white vertical bars and a robust body shape typical of the Clarkii complex. With a very limited natural range along the coast of Oman, this rare clownfish is prized by collectors and breeders. Captive-bred specimens are hardy, active, and make a dramatic, eye-catching focal point in larger reef aquariums.
