🐠 Superblack Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula)
Marine Reef-Safe Designer Anemonefish • Genuine Dark Melanistic Colour Morph • Develops With Age • Beginner-Friendly Marine Fish
 
📋 The Superblack Percula Clownfish is a genuinely striking designer variant of the true Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula), displaying a deep, dark black body — some individuals reach an almost pitch-black finish, while others retain a touch of orange on the belly. This colouration genuinely develops over time: juveniles start out the classic bright orange and gradually darken to black as they mature.
This melanistic pattern is the result of selective captive breeding from Percula Clownfish bloodlines, which naturally inhabit sheltered reefs across the Western Pacific, including the Great Barrier Reef, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
In every other respect, this variant shares the same genuine hardiness, social nature, and beginner-friendly care as a standard Percula Clownfish — it's genuinely peaceful and can even be kept in a school in a genuinely large enough tank, though it may show aggression toward other clownfish genera. It's fully reef safe and won't harm corals or invertebrates, and will readily host in a range of anemone species if offered, though it adapts just as well without one.
