For many years this fish was thought to be a color variant of the Australian Clownfish-Amphiprion melanopus whose range is spread throughout the Western Pacific Ocean. This new species of clownfish differs from Amphiprion melanopus in both coloration and by having fewer spinules on their operculum. This newest member of the Pomacentridae family has an exciting reddish orange body tinged with a full, bright orange face, tail, and dorsal, anal, pectoral, and caudal fin. In addition to being beautiful, the hardy Fiji Barberi Clownfish is fairly active and creates a gorgeous, eye-catching focal point.
