Maroon Gold Nugget Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus)
The Maroon Gold Nugget Clownfish is one of the rarest and most striking designer clownfish in the marine aquarium hobby. This exceptional captive-bred variety features a rich maroon body adorned with brilliant golden-white bars and intricate "gold nugget" patterning that becomes more vibrant as the fish matures. Each individual displays a unique arrangement of markings, making every Gold Nugget Clownfish a one-of-a-kind showpiece.
Developed from the Maroon Clownfish, this premium designer variety combines extraordinary coloration with the bold personality for which maroon clownfish are known. Intelligent and interactive, Gold Nugget Clownfish quickly become accustomed to their owners and often establish a favorite territory within the aquarium. They readily host in Bubble Tip Anemones (Entacmaea quadricolor) and may also adopt large-polyp corals or rockwork as their home.
Captive-bred Maroon Gold Nugget Clownfish are hardy and adapt well to aquarium life. They readily accept a wide variety of foods, including premium marine pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, and other prepared diets. Because of their territorial nature, they are best kept singly, as a bonded pair, or with appropriately sized tank mates that can tolerate their confident behavior.
