Barberi Clownfish

Amphiprion barberi Fiji Endemic • Captive Bred

Rarity

Rare

For many years this fish was thought to be a color variant of the Australian Clownfish Amphiprion melanopus. This new species differs from A. melanopus in both coloration and by having fewer spinules on the operculum. The Fiji Barberi Clownfish features a striking reddish-orange body with a full, bright orange face, tail, and fins. Hardy, active, and visually stunning, it makes an eye-catching focal point in any reef aquarium.
