Frostbite Ocellaris Clownfish
(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 Frostbite Ocellaris Clownfish variant was created by crossing the Snowflake Ocellaris and the Gladiator Ocellaris. This unique variant is mainly white with black irregular spots or blotches that will become darker and more pronounced as they mature. Adding to their beauty they may develop a light blue tint around their white borders. Their face is a bright orange, fins are mainly orange with some having black borders. Each fish will have its own unique pattern. Frostbite Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to 3".
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
