🐠 Snowflake Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris)
Irregular, Jagged White Snowflake-Like Patches on an Orange Body • The Fish That Started the Designer Clownfish Movement • Care Identical to the Standard Ocellaris
 
📋 The Snowflake Clownfish is a selectively bred designer morph of the Ocellaris Clownfish, distinguished by irregular, jagged white bands that expand and fragment beyond the classic three-bar clownfish pattern, resembling frosted, snowflake-like splotches across the orange body.
This morph is widely credited as the fish that started the entire "designer clownfish" movement in the saltwater aquarium hobby, and remains a top choice for reef keepers wanting something distinctive beyond the standard "Nemo" look. Every Snowflake Clownfish we ship is feeding well.
Despite its unique captive-bred heritage, developed entirely in aquaculture from the wild-type Ocellaris found throughout the Indo-Pacific, its temperament and care requirements are virtually identical to the standard Ocellaris Clownfish: hardy, adaptable, and semi-aggressive, well suited to reef tanks. It's fully reef safe, and thrives with or without a host anemone present, though it will readily accept a Bubble Tip Anemone if provided. As with all designer clownfish, each specimen's exact pattern is unique and can vary significantly, so the fish you receive may differ somewhat from any reference photo. It reaches up to 8cm, so a 75L tank suits it well.
