amphiprion polymnus

Anyone heard of or have one of these clowns? Anyone have pictures of these guys??

They are very common clownfish and come in several different color morphs. I especially like the black varieties. I had a pair a year ago but lost them because my thermostat went out on my quarantine tank (they broke down with popeye that wouldn't go away and had to treat). I had them for a while and was sad to lose them. They are pretty cool fish. I would like to comment that they do get pretty large, can be hard on anemones and can be pretty territiorial. I like the way they look and would definitely get them again.

thanks for your info. i picked one up today about 3 inches and it instantly became the apha fish.

I had a pair many years ago. Mean little guys. It has been my experiences with them that they are pretty sensitive to water quality --- whenever I got lazy and skipped a water change or two they would get pop eye.
