The Biggest Animals Kingdom and in The World | Clownfish | Clownfish are native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. Clownfish live at the bottom of the shallow seas protected reefs or in shallow lagoons. There are no clownfish in the Atlantic. Clownfish feeding on small invertebrates which otherwise could harm the sea anemone, and the fecal matter from the clownfish provides nutrients to the sea anemone clownfish are omnivorous: in the wild, they eat live food such as algae, plankton, mollusks, crustaceans, and in captivity they can survive on live food, fish flakes, and pellets.

Clownfish were the first type of marine ornamental fish successfully bred in captivity on a large scale is one of the few marine ornamentals whose entire life cycle is closed in captivity. Members of some clownfish species, like brown clownfish, become aggressive in captivity, others, like the false percula clownfish can be kept successfully with other individuals of the same species.


Clownfish are bred in captivity by a handful of marine ornamental farms in the United States. Clownfish were the first species of saltwater fish tank raised successfully. When a sea anemone is not available in an aquarium, the clownfish may settle in some varieties of soft corals, coral polyps or large stones. Once an anemone or coral has been adopted, the clownfish will defend it. In the 2003 animated film Finding Nemo, the protagonist is a clownfish.
