White Stripe Maroon Maroon Clownfish
Premnas biaculeatus
About this strain
White Stripe Maroons carry the classic three crisp, bright-white stripes on that signature deep maroon body — essentially the 'standard' patterning most people picture when they think of this species. The stripes remain white throughout the fish's life, unlike the Sumatran Gold Stripe form. Body color ranges from a brownish-red in juveniles to a rich, dark burgundy in large adults, particularly in females. These are widely captive-bred and generally considered slightly hardier than some designer variants. Avoid specimens with thin, broken, or yellowing stripes, as that can hint at hybridization or subpar husbandry history.
Origin
White Stripe Maroons are the widespread Indo-Pacific form found across much of the species' natural range, including the Great Barrier Reef and the broader Pacific. They have been a staple of the marine hobby since the early days of captive clownfish keeping.
