This Premnas biaculateus is an exercise to see how many colors we can use to describe a fish. iBluewater.com recently imported this intriguing maroon clownfish: deep plum-purple body, golden bars, and a distinctive orange jaw. We've seen outrageous naturally-occurring variants before (e.g. the PNG Lightning Maroon Clownfish), but we never tire of seeing these oddballs.
Visit 3reef.com for discussion about the latest gem discovered by iBluewater.com. Rare clownfish variants like this make great candidates for captive breeding, so we hope this specimen ends up becoming brood stock.
