2 Sebae Clownfish Appearance
The Sebae Clownfish is one of the clownfish, so its appearance is as distinctive as other clownfish. Also called the Golden Bride, it has an orange tail. Although aggressive toward its own kind, it is still very popular.
The Sebae Clownfish is dark brown with two white bands, an orange head, and a tail that fades from white to yellow—very special. It breeds easily in the aquarium.

3 Sebae Clownfish Habitat and Care
The Sebae Clownfish is not hard to keep and is very suitable for reef tanks; if introduced at the same time, several can be kept together.
It is recommended to keep the Sebae Clownfish in a tank of at least 150 L; its preferred host anemone is the Bubble-tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). It is easy to keep and well suited to reef tanks. If introduced together, several clownfish can be kept. The parents place eggs at the breathing opening of the host anemone, using it for protection. The eggs are tea-green; hatching time varies with temperature, about 6 to 11 days.

The Sebae Clownfish is easy to keep, which also shows in feeding. It eats almost anything, so it is not hard to keep, but it does not like chopped shrimp or algae.
Adult Sebae Clownfish can be fed most meats and seaweed, including frozen. Note that newly hatched fry must be raised in a separate tank and fed rotifers; brine shrimp larvae are best avoided.
