Orange Semi-Storm Clowns adapt easily to a variety of reef setups, thriving in stable, well-maintained aquariums. While they may naturally host in anemones, they do just as well without one.
Natural Behavior
Semi-Storm Clowns display the active, curious, and personable nature typical of Ocellaris. They are generally peaceful but may become territorial once paired, particularly around their chosen host or “home” area. Their playful swimming and unique markings make them a constant source of interest in the tank.
