Overview
The Ocellaris Storm Tank Bred is a striking variation of the classic Amphiprion ocellaris, known for its distinctive marbled pattern and vibrant appearance. Being captive-bred, this clownfish is hardier and better adapted to aquarium life, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced reef keepers. Its unique colouration and peaceful nature make it a standout addition to any marine setup.
Care & Feeding
The Ocellaris Storm Tank Bred is a resilient and easy-to-care-for fish, thriving in well-maintained reef aquariums. It has an omnivorous diet, including high-quality marine pellets, frozen shrimp, and small amounts of algae to support its health and enhance its colours.
As a captive-bred species, it readily adapts to new environments and coexists well with other peaceful reef fish, particularly when kept in pairs or small groups.

Compatibility & Tank Mates
The Ocellaris Storm is a peaceful species and can be kept with other compatible reef fish such as gobies, blennies, and wrasses. It may form a symbiotic relationship with anemones like Entacmaea quadricolor, but it does not rely on them for survival.
Due to its territorial tendencies, it is best introduced before more aggressive species to minimise potential conflicts.
This captivating clownfish is a perfect addition to any reef aquarium, combining beauty, personality, and resilience!
