Description
The Orange Storm Clown (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a stunning variant of the Ocellaris clownfish, recognized for its bright orange body accented with bold black stripes. This eye-catching coloration makes it a favorite among both novice and experienced aquarists.
With a maximum size of about 4 inches, the Orange Storm Clown is suitable for smaller reef tanks but thrives in groups within larger systems. Its semi-aggressive temperament means it may display territorial behavior, particularly toward other clownfish or similar-shaped species. Therefore, it’s best kept with peaceful tankmates and in pairs or small groups.
As an omnivore, this clownfish will readily accept a variety of foods, including high-quality pellets, frozen brine shrimp, and marine algae. The Orange Storm Clown is reef-compatible, often forming a symbiotic relationship with anemones or other host corals, which provides them with protection while benefiting the host. Its lively nature and vibrant appearance add dynamic beauty to any marine aquarium.
