Blacker Ice Clownfish – Amphiprion ocellaris
The Blacker Ice Clownfish is a striking designer variant of Ocellaris, displaying bold black-and-white patterning with distinctive, irregular “ice” markings across the body. Reaching 3–3.5 inches as an adult, it maintains the classic peaceful, hardy temperament that makes Ocellaris one of the most popular reef fish. This captive-bred clown adapts quickly, forms strong pair bonds, and may host anemones or surrogate corals in the aquarium. Its unique coloration ensures it stands out beautifully in both nano and large reef systems.
A minimum tank size of 20 gallons is ideal for a pair, with stable water parameters and moderate flow. Add Blacker Ice Clownfish early in your stocking plan, as their generally calm nature makes them dependable starter fish. They thrive in community settings with plenty of open swimming space.
Blacker Ice Clownfish are omnivores, thriving on a varied diet including New Life Spectrum Marine Formula or TDO Chromaboost pellets. Offering occasional high-quality frozen foods supports optimal growth and coloration.
