Feeds mainly on filamentous red and green algae but also on corals, tunicates, molluscs, echinoderms, polychaets, crustaceans and bryozoans. A very intelligent and curious fish. Adult to 11 cm. |
| Tomato Red and Black Indonesian Clown (Amphiprion melanopus) An attractive easy to keep fish. Can grow to 10 cm in lenth. Most are territorial and may attack other clowns of the same type until one is dominant and becomes the female. Does not mix well with other clowns of different types. |
| Coris Gaimard Wrasse The Gaimard, will go through 3 distinct growing phases, juveniles will change into females with bluish green bodies, yellow tails with many brilliant blue spots. In the later stages they are darker with a faint greenish vertical bar on their flank. They are not fussy eaters and will accept most foods. In times of distress or when sleeping will rapidly dissapear into the substrate. They are very active swimmers and can grow to 40 cm. |
| Camel Shrimp (Rhynchocinetes sp) A striking looking shrimp but not suitable for reef tanks as it will eat some soft corals and polyps. |

| The Blue Hippo Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus) A beautiful if somewhat nervous fish that are active swimmers and will cover a lot of territory.
