Pink Skunk Clown (Amphiprion perideraion)
B$ 6 (small) B$ 8 (medium) B$ 10 (large)
Commonly know has the Pink Skunk Clownfish. This fish has a white stripe that runs from its face along the top of the head and down the back. It also has a single vertical white bar located between its eye and pectoral fin. A member of the damselfish family. The Pink Skunk Clownfish is usually one of the more docile clowns, though it will not tolerate others of the same species or appearance.
In the wild it will choose Heteractis magnifica, Heteractis crispa, and Stichodactyla gigantea as host anemones. In the home aquarium they are known to accept Entacmaea quadricolor as a host, as well as some corals. Clownfish do not require a host anemone, and will do just fine without, provided there is some form of shelter.
The diet of the Skunk Clownfish should consist of fresh or frozen seafoods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other meaty items.
