Description
The White Storm Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) captivates aquarists with its unique storm-like patterns in striking black and white. Known for its distinctive appearance, the White Storm Clownfish is a designer variant of the popular Ocellaris Clownfish, exhibiting bold and irregular white patches that give each fish an exclusive and memorable look. Its hardy nature and ease of care make it a fantastic choice for both novice and experienced aquarists alike.
Native to captive breeding programs, this clownfish variant is accustomed to aquarium life and generally adapts well to different tank conditions. It can live harmoniously within a reef tank, especially among corals and invertebrates, adding visual appeal with its contrasting coloration. Although it can display semi-aggressive tendencies, especially when defending its territory, the White Storm Clownfish is typically peaceful with other fish, particularly in larger tanks with ample hiding spaces.
As an omnivore, this fish thrives on a varied diet of high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen foods like mysis and brine shrimp. Offering multiple small feedings daily helps support its energy needs and maintains its health and coloration.
A minimum tank size of 20 gallons is recommended, with larger tanks preferred when housing multiple clownfish or if pairing with other semi-aggressive tank mates. Compatible with other peaceful reef dwellers, the White Storm Clownfish is a stylish and low-maintenance addition that brings a distinctive flair to any aquarium.
