Orange Skunk Clownfish

From the BreederName: Orange Skunk ClownfishMaximum Size: 5.5” (14 cm)It is easy to understand the name of the Orange Skunk Clownfish because of the white skunk like band that runs from the tip of the nose on the dorsal (upper) part of the body to the beginning of the caudal (tail) fin. Two other species of clownfish belonging to the “skunk complex” have this feature including the Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprion akallopisos) and the Pink Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprion perideraion). The Orange Skunk Clownfish has an orange body. Juvenile Orange Skunk Clownfish have a transparent or whitish tail, but as they grow the tail turn an orange color. The orange tail is an easy way to distinguish adult specimens of the Orange Skunk Clownfish from the Skunk Clownfish and Pink Skunk Clownfish since these other species have a white or light colored caudal (tail) fin. Also, the Orange Skunk Clownfish grow larger than the Pink Skunk Clownfish but is still one of the smallest species in the clownfish family.
