Rarity
Rare
Also known as Allard’s Anemonefish or the Two-bar Clownfish, Amphiprion allardi is a striking and relatively rare member of the clownfish family. It features a bright orange to reddish-orange body with two prominent white vertical bars (the second often reduced or absent in some individuals) and yellow to white fins depending on the region. One of the larger clownfish species, it is hardy, active, and makes a bold, eye-catching addition to larger reef aquariums. Captive-bred specimens are prized for their adaptability and strong genetics in breeding programs.
