Tomato Clownfish

Tomato Clownfish (Amphiprion frenatus)

The Tomato Clownfish, also known as the Bridled Clownfish or Red Clownfish, is commonly found throughout the Pacific, often in close association with anemones like the Bubbletip Sea Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). Unlike the Fire Clown, which is typically limited to Indo-Pacific reefs, the Tomato Clownfish has a broader range and can even use coral as a host in the absence of an anemone. Captive-bred Tomato Clownfish usually have a darker coloration than their wild counterparts, but their color lightens to a vibrant red-orange as they mature.
