Description: The Clown Sweetlips is a mellow predator that is brown with white spots as a juvenile. The color and pattern will change as this fish grows into adulthood. This fish is a slow grower; it can be comfortably kept in a 180-gallon tank. However, they will need a much larger tank as it grows to its full size. The Clown Sweetlips will need ample swimming room and hiding spaces to feel comfortable. House this fish with other large, semi-aggressive fish.
