Pink Skunk Clownfish

Amphiprion perideraion

The pink skunk clownfish is a small, slender anemonefish in a soft pink-to-peach with a thin white dorsal stripe running nose to tail and a single vertical white bar behind the eye. It is the most peaceful and timid of the commonly kept clowns, easily bullied by assertive tankmates, so it belongs in a calm community and is best kept as a bonded pair. It associates readily with the magnificent (Heteractis magnifica) and other host anemones, but does fine without one.
