Aquacultured Black Ice Clownfish
Aquacultured Black Ice Clowns are achieved through breeding a Black Ocellaris with a Snowflake Ocellaris, which gives them bold intense colorations that will darken over time. They will very likely choose a host anemone fairly quickly (just avoid condylactis). In one of the neatest displays of symbiotic behavior that you can see in a home aquarium, the clownfish provides food and a cleaning service for the anemone, which in turn protects the clownfish. This clown is reef safe, will eat processed foods and can be added in small groups. Clownfish are known to change their sex to increase their chance of reproduction and genetic diversity in the wild. If the female dies, a male will change their sex to take her place. The Black Ice Clowns have the patterns of a snowflake clown with a blend of orange and black. They will get darker in color as they grow. The Black Ice Clown will grow to be about 3" in size.
