:Females are larger than the males.

|tank_compatibility=:Percula Clownfish feed predominantly in the middle of the tank, although they can be observed nipping at plant matter throughout the tank. They are very peaceful and are generally compatible with most fish that are the same size. They should not be housed with [[Grouper]]s, Sharks, [[Lionfish]], [[Moray Eel]]s or Rays. Caution should be taken when housing with [[Triggerfish]] and certain [[Wrasse]].
 
+
|diet=:Percula Clownfish are omnivores. They should be fed a diet of brine shrimp, or chopped shrimp, squid or clams. They will also eat plant matter and can eat flake food, although the majority of their diet should consist of animal protein. They will also nip at algae and plant matter that grows in the aquarium and benefit from live rock growth.

|feeding_regime=:Feed your Percula Clownfish two times daily, and only as much as they will eat in 2-3 minutes.

|environment_specifics=:An adaptable saltwater fish that does well in a mature reef set up. Will commonly be associated with anemones such as ''[[Heteractis magnifica]]'' or ''[[Stichodactyla mertensii]]'' but captive bred fish will do perfectly fine without these and host long-tentacled corals instead.
