The objective of this research was to find out the best time for nauplii artemia delivered in larva rearing of clown fish (A. ocellaris). Fiberglas tanks of 200 L were used as larva rearing container, and filled with 100 l filtered seawater. Eggs of clown fish were stocked at 100 individual in each tank. The treatment of different initial feeding time of nauplii artemia were set up as A) at Day 6, B) Day 10 and C) Day 15. The results showed that there were no significant differences among treatments to the growth rate but the survival rate at treatment A was the highest. Total length of the larvae were similar among treatment, namely A) 10.2±0.9 mm, B) 10.3±0.5 mm, and C) 9.9±0.8 mm. Survival rate was A) 81±11.3%, B) 62±0% and C) 67±5.7%, respectively.
