Gold Dot Maroon (Premnas biaculeatus)

Description:
The Gold Dot Maroon is a variation of the Gold Stripe Maroon that has additional dots of barring on one or both sides of the fish. Like all Gold Stripe Maroons, the stripes start out white and turn yellow as they mature.

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.
