White Storm Ocellaris Clownfish
(Amphiprion biaculeatus)
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.
White Storm Ocellaris Clownfish are a unique variety of the Ocellaris Clownfish and are occasionally seen in the aquarium trade. They are also sometimes referred to as the Snowflake Ocellaris Clownfish or the Blizzard Ocellaris Clownfish. White Storm Ocellaris Clownfish have a bright orange body with white patches and irregular markings. The amount of white coloration can vary from fish to fish, but they generally have more white than the regular Ocellaris Clownfish. They can grow up to 3 inches in length.
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
