Often confused with Amphiron ocellaris or False Percula, there are some differences. The True Percula possesses a much brighter orange coloration and the black outlines are much more pronounced. Also, the True Percula is not as hardy as the Amphiron ocellaris and is slightly more aggressive. Typically associates with Ritteri(Heteractis magnifica) and Carpet(Stichodactyla sp.) anemones. |

The True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula) is sometimes called a Percula Clownfish, a True Percula Anemonefish, or a Clown Anemonefish. It belongs to the family named Pomacentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the True Percula Clownfish is semi-aggressive in nature and sensitive 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 good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Amphiprion percula should not be housed in a tank less than 20 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.

Captive breeding is very successful with this species and several hobbyists and retailers have been doing so with great success for years.
