Black Storm 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 Black Storm Ocellaris Clownfish is a popular captive bred variation of the Ocellaris Clownfish. This beautiful Clownfish variant is a cross between a male Black Storm and a female Black Snowflake. They have a Black & White pattern similar to Pandas but the face is white and stays that way with black eyes. Each fish will have a unique pattern adding to its allure. Black Storm Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to almost 4".
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
