Papua New Guinea’s Lightning Maroon Clownfish has spawned again, and this time it’s a much larger and more robust looking clutch. After more than two years of conditioning by Matt Pedersen the Lightning Maroon Clownfish spawned for the first time about a month ago, and despite some stresses, Mama Lightnin’ has done the deed with her mate, also from PNG. If the half Lightning Maroon Clutch survives the next 24 hours there’s a realistic chance we could see some “interesting” looking baby Premnas biaculeatus. Go Lightning Maroon Clownfish, go Mama Lightnin’, you can do it girl, we believe in you!
Lightning Maroon Clownfish spawns again, you can do it girl!
