Wyoming White 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 Wyoming White Ocellaris Clownfish are quite unique as they have an almost totally white body, orange face with very small amounts of orange and black on their fins and tail. As the fish matures the black on their fins will become a deeper richer black and some may have a black spot behind their gill cover. They will also develop a black outline on their face as they mature. Each fish will have its own unique pattern. Wyoming White Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to almost 4".
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
