Black Semi-Storm (Amphiprion ocellaris)

Description                                                                                                                           The Black Semi-Storm Ocellaris comes from the Darwin ocellaris, with the Gladiator (DaVinci) clownfish brood line. The resulting fish is black in color, a white masked face and smooth, less exaggerated connecting barring down the whole body. The black semi-storm has possible barring not connected and less white color covering the body, showing more of the black color.

Behavior:
Like all clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris is a sequential hermaphrodite. The largest individual present will exert dominance and become reproductively female. The next largest fish will become reproductively male. Remaining smaller individuals are usually tolerated but will not be reproductively active.

Compatibility:
Usually ignores reef invertebrates and corals. Clownfish sometimes adopt various corals and algae as substitutes for host anemones.

Food:
Proaquatix specimens have been weaned to take aquarium pellets and flakes. Freshly frozen invertebrates such as ocean plankton, Mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp will be readily accepted.
