Black Storm Clownfish

Description

Black Storm Clownfish are amazing ocellaris variants. Instead of distinct bands, Black Storms display wonderful patterns that are more akin to polka dots. Irregular, bold dark patches decorate the clowns’ bright white body. The contrasting shades enhance each other. As a result, Black Storms are ideal fish for someone after something special in their tank.

Black Storm Clownfish Ecology:

Clownfish form strict hierarchies, in which, the dominant fish is female. In the absence of a matriarch, a larger male clown will change gender and also become the new boss.

Famously, Clownfish share a symbiotic relationship with anemones. The Anemones offer the clownfish protection against predators. This is so, because anemones have stinging cells called nematocysts. Black Storm Clownfish have protective mucus coats, which prevents the host from stinging them. In return, the clownfish bring in food and keep the Anemone free from parasites.

Clownfish: In the Aquarium:

Black Storm Clownfish are omnivores and do best when fed a varied diet. They will accept frozen Mysis shrimp and enriched frozen brine shrimp. They will also devour live foods, such as copepods and amphipods, that can be cultivated in attached refugium. Over time they will accept high-quality pellet and flake. We adapt all our Clownfish to aquarium life before they leave us. We focus on their health, and most are eating a good quality flake food and/or pellet, such as JBL Maris, before being offered for sale.
