The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is very distinctive with its jet-black body and three white stripes on each side. They are very hardy and are perfect for the novice or seasoned aquarist. Interestingly, the Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish begins life donning an orange coloration that slowly transitions to a beautiful caramel or umber coloration as juveniles. It takes the Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish roughly a year to gradually darken to their final jet-black coloration. It is not uncommon for some adult individuals to retain traces of the orange/umber coloration, especially around their mouth and face.
The Black and White Ocellaris Clownfish is a good candidate for a reef aquarium. If introduced to the aquarium at the same time.
Clownfish are omnivores, requiring both meaty foods as well as some greens in their diet. A high quality marine flake food, rich in spirulina algae, as well as freeze dried and frozen foods are readily accepted.
