Care at a glance
The orange skunk clownfish is a bright orange with a single white stripe running from the upper lip over the back into the tail. It comes from the western Pacific and lives with carpet anemones there, often sharing one anemone with other clownfish species.
It is decidedly peaceful, which makes it a good choice for a calm reef tank. That is exactly why you should not combine it with more dominant clownfish: they claim the anemone and drive it out permanently.
