What is pink skunk clowns?

Pink skunk clowns, also known as Pink Skunk Anemonefish or Amphiprion perideraion, are a type of clownfish found in the Western Pacific Ocean, from the Great Barrier Reef to Fiji. They are primarily found in lagoons and outer reef slopes, where they inhabit anemones as their host.

These fish are named after their unique coloration - their bodies are a vibrant pink color with a vertical white stripe running down their head, resembling a skunk. They are a small species, growing up to 9 cm in length.

Pink skunk clowns are known to be very active and social fish, often seen swimming among the tentacles of their anemone homes. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates, plankton, and algae.

Like all clownfish, Pink skunk clowns are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning they start out as males and later can change their sex to become females. They lay their eggs in the protective tentacles of their host anemone, where they hatch and the juveniles are cared for by their parents.

Overall, Pink skunk clowns are a popular and beloved species in the marine aquarium hobby, known for their striking appearance and lively personality.
