Because they are tank-raised, they readily accept prepared foods and shrug off the stress that bothers wild-caught fish. Give them a stable, established reef or fish-only system of at least 20 gallons with plenty of rockwork to claim as territory. Keep the temperature between 74 and 78°F, pH at 8.1 to 8.4, and salinity at 1.020 to 1.025. Feed a varied omnivore diet of frozen or live mysis and brine shrimp along with quality marine flakes or pellets and some algae-based food, offered two to three times a day in small amounts. They can be kept singly, as a bonded pair, or as a small group started young, and while they do not need an anemone in captivity, they will often host a bubble-tip anemone if one is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:18px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:6px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:0.93em;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;width:42%;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eWyoming White Clownfish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eScientific Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAmphiprion ocellaris\u003c\/em\u003e (designer variant)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eCare Level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eBeginner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eTemperament\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003ePeaceful\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eReef Safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eMax Adult Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eAbout 3 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eMinimum Tank Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e20 gallons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eDiet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eOmnivore (meaty \u0026amp; algae-based foods)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eWater Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e74 to 78°F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003epH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e8.1 to 8.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eSalinity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003e1.020 to 1.025 SG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;font-weight:600;background:#E0F7FA;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #B2EBF2;\"\u003eCaptive-bred (tank-raised)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:18px 0 4px;font-size:1.05em;font-weight:600;line-height:1.25;border-left:4px solid #006064;padding-left:8px;\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWyoming Whites are social and get along well with other peaceful reef fish, corals, and non-aggressive invertebrates.

The Auriga is one of the more reliable Aiptasia predators in the hobby and will work rock work over steadily.

Auriga are far hardier and far more willing to take prepared foods than obligate coral-polyp feeders like Copperbands or Ornate Butterflies.

Always wear thick gloves and use a fine-mesh soft net. Avoid trying to grab the fish by hand.
