| | Common Name(s) | Tomato clownfish |

| Scientific Name(s) | Amphiprion frenatus |
| | Family Name | | | Water Type | Saltwater | | Description | Notes: As with most clownfish the Tomato 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. Generally, 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 and provide each clownfish, or pair of clownfish, with their own anemone. That way each fish has a comfortable home and quarrels will be reduced. Adding all of the clownfish at the same time will also help to reduce territorial disputes. The Tomato Clownfish does not require a host anemone for survival.
