| Scientific Name(s) | Premnas biaculeatus |
| | Family Name | | | Water Type | Saltwater | | Description | The Gold Stripe Maroon Clownfish is very similar to the Maroon Clownfish with the exception of its stripes, which are gold instead of white. As with most clownfish the Gold Stripe Maroon Clownfish is best kept singly unless a pair is introduced together. It may attack other clownfishes and nip at passive tank-mates who wonder near its host anemone or territory. It is a great fish for the reef aquarium and spends much of its time nestled peacefully in its anemone. If you plan to keep other clownfish, it is best to do it in a larger aquarium of 100 gallons or more. Adding all of the clownfish at the same time will also help to reduce territorial disputes.
The Gold Maroon Clownfish does not require a host anemone for survival.
