This magnificent maroon clownfish Premnas biaculeatus was recently caught in Papua New Guinea by famed fish collector Steve Robinson. As far as we know this individual is one of a kind but perhaps with more collections other similar specimens may be discovered. If this is a sign of things to come then it seems like Papua New Guinea will be a treasure trove of new morphs and species. The photo was taken topside in PNG right after collection so please excuse the blurry-cam. This specimen is as sensational as the original picasso true percula clownfish which was imported several years back. Perhaps this amazing maroon clownfish will be the progenitor of a domestic strain of “Lightning Maroon Clowns”. You heard it here first!
