Food
In the wild, the Sebae Clownfish will eat a variety of both meat and vegetation including, algae, weeds, plankton, and small invertebrates. While in an aquarium, it can be fed live, frozen, and flaked food, in small amounts several time per day, unless the habitat is reef-based, then it doesn’t need to be fed that often.
Breeding
The male starts courting the female a week before they spawn. The male initiates maintenance of the site chosen for habitation. The female enters the nest to lay her eggs. About 300 to 600 eggs are laid. The males usually guard the eggs, which hatch after six to eight days. The yolk sac of the larvae was small. Between the third and fourth day they fed and their body shape changed. On days fifteen to eighteen in their life cycle they enter metamorphosis.
