Another Maroon Hybrid (Wild)
I was on a trip to Sacramento yesterday and stopped by one of the local fish stores. There was a clownfish there that I felt confident was a hybrid. After a brief google search I came across an article by Jake Adams from 11/28/12 documenting a Maroon/Tomato hybrid collected in the Philippines.
Notice the clown in the photos has a slightly oval shaped body. I also think its eyes are slightly darker than regular maroon clowns. |

And here's my current pair of white stripe maroon clowns for comparison. Picture was taken this morning before the lights came on.

Thats a nice pair of wsm you have! How do they treat the anemone? I had to recently get rid of my GSM pair because they were ripping my green bta to shreds

Having had the pair for about 3 weeks I think WSM is my second favorite type of clown only behind Wild Onyx clowns. |

Are you planning on breeding the pair of maroons? |

I’d like to but it’s highly unlikely. Out of all CB clowns I’ve seen, Maroons appear to be the most deformed. Their super aggressive behavior towards similarly sized brothers has probably a lot to do with it. I might give it a try but if all I get is culls then that will be the end of it.

Interesting fish. I agree it may be a hybrid.

How can a hatchery send a clown out like this? Is it just because it's Petco?
