Mars – Tomato Clownfish

The Tomato Clownfish is an iconic choice for saltwater enthusiasts who want a fish with a powerful visual presence. Named for its deep, saturated red-orange body, this species is famous for its singular, bold white head bar outlined in black. As these fish mature, their bodies often transition into an even deeper, more dramatic mahogany red, making them a centerpiece of activity in any reef or fish-only setup.

Why the Tomato Clownfish is a Standout Choice:

• Intense Red Saturation: Unlike the standard orange of an Ocellaris, the Tomato Clownfish offers a much darker, richer red palette that provides incredible contrast against green corals or live rock.

• Rugged Reliability: Known as one of the hardiest clownfish species, “Mars” is exceptionally resilient to fluctuations in water parameters, making him a perfect choice for both novice and expert reefers.

• Feisty & Full of Life: Tomato Clownfish have spirited personalities; they are active swimmers and are known to be quite bold when defending their territory or interacting with their environment.

• Natural Host Instincts: This species is highly likely to host in a variety of anemones, particularly the Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor), showcasing that classic symbiotic behavior everyone loves.

• Express Pet Mart Quality: Our Tomato Clownfish are tank-acclimated and vigorous eaters, ensuring they arrive ready to settle into their new territory immediately.
