Mohawk Maroon (Premnas biaculeatus)

Description:
The Mohawk Maroon is a designer variant from the Gold x Lightning Maroon clownfish that has a brilliant large stripe pattern running down from head to tail down the dorsal body of the fish. The pattern can show up in the white or gold variety.

Behavior:
Like all clownfish, Premnas biaculeatus is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. The female will not tolerate other smaller individuals.

Compatibility:
Usually ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfish sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.

Food:
Proaquatix specimens have been weaned to take aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp will be readily accepted.
