| Amphiprion ephippium (Linnaeus, 1758) |
The red saddleback anemonefish, Amphiprion ephippium, also known as the saddle anemonefish, is a clownfish that lives in the Indo-Pacific area. They are considered small even for a clownfish, but are very aggressive toward other animals, especially to other types of clownfish.
They can grow up to be an average maximum of 5 inches. The minimum aquarium tank capacity is 30 gallons, and they should be fed chopped shrimp and frozen herbivore preparations.[1]
