Were there other clowns in the tank ?

Fighting ? Acclimatized well ?

Usually it's due to improper acclimatisation or aggression from other resident fishes.

Livestocks are already weakened during the shipment. Sometimes we buy them at the point when they start to fail but without any visual signs yet. So they die in our tanks after a couple days.

Although its a sad loss, if you have done your part with proper care and acclimation, don't fret too much.

ps: Maroons are more aggressive than the normal clowns. You might want to consider giving them more space and different anemones or hiding spaces.

Does your maroon clown attack the other normal clownfishes?

[tofubox]

Sounds like aggression, and died due to stress and poor shipping.

Maroon clowns are known to attack and even kill other clownfish and shouldn't be housed with other species of clownfish.
