A clown of a different color. Unlike most clownfish, this one has a stripe running horizontal down its body instead of vertical. The Orange Skunk typically prefers the Merten's Carpet(Stichodactyla mertensii) or a Leather(Heteractis crispa) anemone as a host, however will usually acclimate itself to others if those two are not present. More suseptible to the clownfish disease Brooklynella. |

The Orange Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprion sandarcinos) is sometimes called an Orange Skunk Anemonefish or a Skunk-striped Anemonefish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Orange Skunk Clownfish is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Amphiprion sandarcinos should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
