🐠 Frostbite Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
A Striking White Body With Black Edging and Buckshot Markings • A Captive-Bred Designer Variant • A One-of-a-Kind Pattern Per Fish
 
📋 The Frostbite Clownfish is a designer variant of the Ocellaris Clownfish, selectively bred by crossing two other designer lines, the Wyoming White and Snowflake Clownfish. This variant doesn't occur naturally in the wild.
It has a striking, mostly white body with bold black fin edging and scattered, irregular "buckshot" markings that vary from fish to fish, often developing a soft icy-blue tint as the fish matures. Every Frostbite Clownfish we ship is feeding well.
As a captive-bred fish, it's hardier, more disease-resistant, and easier to acclimate than wild-caught clownfish, and never enters the ocean. It's fully reef safe, and lives peacefully with gobies, blennies, chromis, wrasses, and most reef-safe invertebrates, though mild territorial behaviour can appear during pairing or when defending a preferred spot. Like all clownfish, this species is a protandrous hermaphrodite: all individuals begin life as males, with the most dominant fish in a pair transitioning to female. It doesn't require a host anemone to thrive, though it will readily host in one, such as a Bubble Tip Anemone, if available. It reaches up to 9cm, so a 60L tank suits it well.
