Snow Onyx Clownfish

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 Snow Onyx Clownfish is a hybrid that has been created by crossing the Onyx Percula Clownfish and the Snowflake Ocellaris Clownfish. This Captive Bred Clownfish variety is not often seen in the aquarium trade. Snow Onyx Clownfish are orange with unique and irregular white patches outlined in black, with slightly ice blue highlights. Each fish will have its own unique patterns and shapes. Extreme Snow Onyx will have more white with more extreme pattern uniqueness. The Snow Onyx Clownfish can grow to almost 4".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons or larger for this species.
