Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish, Ultra
(Amphiprion ocellaris)
Amphiprion Clownfish should be added to a well established aquarium with plenty of rock work and swimming area. Also known as anemonefish they are hardy, reef safe and easy to care for. They are also one of the most popular marine aquarium inhabitants. Anemonefish create a symbiotic relationship with anemones. Anemonefish are dependent on anemone's for shelter and protection and provide food and cleaning services to the anemone. They can be a bit territorial over their host anemone. Females are larger than the males and are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning the juveniles mature into males but may reproduce as females later in life. Anemonefish should be fed a diet of meaty and herbivore based foods.
The Ultra Black Ice Ocellaris Clownfish is a unique cross between the Snowflake Ocellaris and a Black & White Ocellaris. This beautifully orange to brown colored Clownfish have irregular white shapes and patterns outlined in black, no two are alike making this variant a must have. Ultra Black Ice will have the most white and the head and body stripe will join on both sides of its body. This Clownfish variant is commonly captive bred.
