2 -2.5 inches (roughly the size of a standard adult percula though in time maroons can reach upwards of 6 inches). I'm not certain if it's made female transition or not yet. In fairness it could go either way. It's smaller than my other male maroon clownfish. Though it's also much younger than them.

I'm breaking down my nem tank, and I already have 2 pairs of maroons. I don't fancy keeping fish in my coral frag (coral qt) system. So this beauty is available. Though I'll admit I'm more picky about where my fish go to than most other things. So merely saying your intrested won't mean you will automatically get the fish. Only looking for a good home in a somewhat established fully cycled tank. With compatible tank mates.


As a bonus this maroon hasn't matured to the point they turn agressive yet unlike my others.

Located in santa clara.

Free to supporting members. Though if you wanna toss me a interesting frag of something I likely wouldn't turn it down though not required.

I have a 5g tank if you need to house the clown separately instead of the main tank.

If you don't find it a home, I have space in the clown farm and maybe I can find him a gf.
Do you have a much larger or smaller maroon? From experience they are very hard to pair and is often fatal if rushed. It helps if there is a larger size difference.

I tried adding it to the 210. It lasted ok for all of 2 minutes lmao but I should have expected nothing less. It was happy to be caught and removed. Now in a tank again by itself

Unless they are from same harching clutch can't keep more than 2 maroons even than the get along until they don't. I have seen a pair of maroons and another type of clown in same take that seemed to work definitely not typical.

I've never seen 2 pairs of maroons in one tank. Maybe with a massive 400 gallon plus tank it might be possible.

The only exception I've seen is of a clutch born together and never separated as mentioned above.

Do you want the maroon you gave me? About an 1.5" now.
