Snowflake 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 Snowflake Ocellaris Clownfish is quite beautiful and unique Ocellaris variety. Their orange to dark orange body and exaggerated white body stripes and fins trimmed with thin black lines make this a coveted fish. Ocellaris Clownfish can grow to almost 4".

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